In the beginning of her speech she talks about her life before she became queen and how she would like to have been married instead of being the queen of England. The space break right after she talks about her life before becoming queen really helped get her point across that the old her would have gotten married because she had no one to worry about but herself. In second space break she used very good figurative language when she say “And behold the pledge of this wedlock and marriage with my kingdom.” We all know she can’t really marry a kingdom but the point that she was trying to get across to Parliament was that she felt like she didn’t need a husband because the kingdom was already enough to deal with and she didn’t need a man to distract her from her duties as queen. I also like how she thanked Parliament for not forcing a husband upon her because she thought that would be inappropriate and stupid of them. The three space break sums up everything she stated before in her speech that she will not take a husband or have any children because she knows she is what’s best for England.

The Republican Party brought her up on the stage on purpose, because Mary Fisher was a perfect example of a “safe” person to speak about AIDS. It may not be surprise in present day; however, in 1990’s, Fisher shocked people as a middle class white mother from a reputable family who was HIV-positive. “Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members have been reluctantly drafted from every segment of American society.” At the moment she started speaking, her voice filled with her spirit of confident. Fisher stood at a position, “I want my children to know that their mother was not a victim. She was a messenger.” She didn’t only say she was a messenger, and she showed her confidence throughout the entire speech.
Roddick had already opened a second shop before her husband’s return of being gone 10 months. When Anita Roddick opened her first Body Shop, she did not expect to get rich. She just hoped to survive. Her plan was disarmingly simple—she would create a line of cosmetics from natural ingredients and rather than rely on vanity to sell her products, she would appeal to her customers’ concern for the environment. Through a combination of low-key marketing, consumer education and social activism, The Body Shop rewrote the rulebook for the $16 billion global cosmetics business and made Roddick one of the richest women in England.

Emma Willard opened a seminary for girls, in Troy, New York, in 1821. Her teaching methods were similar to ones used in the boys' schools, which horrified the parents. Yet clearly parents' disapproval did not stop the girls from wanting an education since from 1821-1872, 12,000 girls attended Willard’s school (Women in America). Once given the chance of an education, many of her students even went on to start their own schools. Yet after that, their was right to a higher education, such as a college.
Delfinio I. Velasquez Professor: Tami Comstock Eng- 80-32544 3/26/2013 How Autonomy should be used with Parenting Parents want what is best for their kids, but what they think is best for their kids depends on what parents think an ideal adult looks like as a whole. Daniel H. Pink in Drive analyzes how authentic motivation and autonomy are required for children potential to be preserved. Parents should use more autonomy as much as they can to let their children feel that they are controlling their own life. This will increase their motivation in many areas and gain more confidence to achieve better grades in school. Allowing children to be able to think independently and create their own behavior can be an effective way to allow for more autonomy, improving their motivation in many areas and get the confidence to achieve better grades in school.
