As Sloane described it, the ‘council was the indispensable hub of the entire machinery of government’. However, this powerful group of men, were managed by an even more powerful woman. And despite their authority, Elizabeth made sure they would never be more powerful than her. By learning from the mistakes of previous monarchs, Elizabeth never allowed any single individual have a monopoly of power. She purposefully appointed councillors that held opposing views such as Cecil and Dudley, to ensure that they would not unite and overrule her but also in order for her to receive well rounded advice from different views in order to help her make strong and solid decisions.
Though she remains strong and has the will power to move forward, these people have committed some kind of permanent damage, not to her, but to her reputation. This part of the poem is very motivational. Angelou continues with confidence, and somewhat sarcasm by asking her reader a question, “ Does my sassiness upset you?” “Why are you beset with gloom?” Angelou is asking her reader why does my confidence bother you so much? Why does my strength bother you? Why are you surrounded with so many negative thoughts?
It took plodding through our pain, standing up for ourselves, and accepting challenges, to make us what we are today, strong women. Being determined to make it, and be somebody instead of letting life beat us down was very important. Walking straight into life full of energy, and being positive, keeps us going on a daily
The quote 'Advised by acquaintances and plagued by phone pranksters', informs us of the challenges that the mother has had to endure whilst on her journey. Nevertheless, she responds to this with an optimistic attitude by continuing her search with hope, as Dawe's use of alliteration to describe her as being a 'mighty mother, indicates to us that she will not stop despite all obstacles. Repetition is used in the lines 'we know, but we know love and thats implacable too'. The use of repetition tells the reader that the mother's love is too strong and that she will not give up regardless of whether the odds are stacked against her or not. This effect, links back to the notion of having a positive attitude being essential to the traveller, as it shows us that the mother is not giving up hope,
First of all, she has the attributes of an overbearing parent. She pushes her son toward attaining success even when it is against his character and when he is even more unwilling; especially during the election for consulship. It can be said that a mother always wants best for her child but in the case of Volumnia it is ironic that she puts her own ambitions first before her son’s safety and happiness whereas, the audience would expect the latter to be more important. In Act 1 Scene 3, Volumnia’s speech represents that of a mother who thrives on her son’s triumphs. She says that ‘I should freelier rejoice in that absence wherein he won honor than in the embracements of his bed where he would show most love”.

During the “Speech to the Troops at Tilbury,” Queen Elizabeth I showed a tone of inspiration during a time of great doubt, a flawless diction, and a syntax structure that showed great emphasis on each statement that summoned the passion out of her people. Tone is the most important attribute to have in a speech and the queen nailed it on the forehead. During a time when all hope was lost she showed great inspiration and determination that rejuvenated her people. Powerful statements that would make “tyrants fear” and give “strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts” of her people, to annihilate any invaders such as “Parma or Spain” and to send a message to “any prince of Europe.” She was assuring that her people would not go out without a fight and that the English would come out on top of the power struggle between the colonies of Europe. Firmness was shown and the leadership of a king was brought out of the queen and that earned loads of respect from her people and they figured out that this woman was not one to be taken lightly.
The conflict metaphors mean three different dimensions which are conflict as war, conflict of opportunity, and conflict of journey. The conflict that serves the organization’s interest is functional interest. Although Selina Lo was very much successful with her aggressiveness, she never gave up that. She motivated employees with her scream and yell, employees were fearful of her and finished the job well done. As the functional conflict is very much beneficial for the organization, she would help by fearing people to get the job done.
Not lazy like American people.”’(Tan, 91) Lindo Jong showed extreme pride in her home country while shining a stereotypically negative light on Americans. Little did she know that her deceptive daughter was interested in learning more about “torture” than “Chinese.” Lindo’s nationalistic behavior showed her slight disapproval of Americans and caused Waverly to question her engagement to Rich.

Despite the culture difference, the pairs were also in fact mother and daughter. The mothers’ more traditional ways disputed with the daughters’ modernistic ideas.
