She tremendously helped pushed the British out of France. After Joan’s death the war effort of the English seemed to become stronger. Soon though the French attempted to fight and began to win many battles. ‘“Be not afraid!”’ she cried. ‘”The English will have no more power over you.”’(HornerPg14) Joan tried to encouraged her soldiers to do great and not be afraid.
Anthony Castellano 11-19-12 Ms. Miller 1st period Queen Elizabeth’s speech at Tilbury Queen Elizabeth’s speech at Tilbury allowed her troops to march almost fearlessly into battle, by placing courage and passion into her troops’ hearts. Her word choice, tone, organization and knowledge of her audience gave her a better chance at the success of war. Throughout this speech Queen Elizabeth uses careful word choice to inspire those who are preparing for battle. If you notice in the first sentence she uses the word “we”, this provides a feeling of safety and well-being not only for her but for the troops and the country in which they are fighting for. This may give the troops a greater will to fight not only for themselves but for their families as well.
“Women proved by their work during WWI that they deserved the vote.” How accurate is this view that women only received the vote because of their war efforts? Introduction: Notice the difference in debate and line of argument. By doing something like this, it immediately gives the impression of a top band ‘A’ essay. The line of argument is decisive and removes all ‘sitting on the fence’! This provides your essay with a clear, structured argument.
The peaceful campaigning of the suffragists’ was a key factor in women receiving the vote. The suffragists’ started the whole route of women gaining the vote; they were the ever moving force behind the movement. However historian Martin Pugh suggests that “Suffragists would probably have done better to have made common cause with all unenfranchised men and women from the start and thereby they might have extended their appeal” because all men had not yet received the vote it was argued that women should not receive the franchise when it was not fully given to all men. However there were other contributing factors leading up to 1918 and women gaining the vote. They include the work of the suffragettes’ who caused chaos and grabbed the spotlight away from the suffragists’ after a group of women decided it was time to make a militant stand.
The US public was exuberant, and the people celebrated as the country cheerfully went to war. In order to prove the righteousness of the US cause, Congress decided to send a message to the European powers, many of whom believed the American war against Spain to be an imperialistic land-grab, an effort to assume control of Cuba from Spain. Congress passed the Teller Amendment in May 1898, in which the US promised not to annex Cuba, but to liberate it as an independent state. Thus, the US claimed to be fighting the war not for selfish gain, but to liberate an oppressed people and promote justice in the world. Commentary Even directly before the war, some people on both sides were trying to avoid conflict.
She was therefore able to maintain her power over England or a long time. Because she had not married, she was able to give the image and idea to her people that she was “married” to the state which made them like her that much more. It greatly benefits her resulting from the high degree use of the “fox” method. The use of the “lion” method was not used to any degree because it was not needed. Queen Elizabeth did not have to use force or brawn to avoid marriage because of her “fox” methods.
She continues her speech my talking about how she has placed her trust in the “loyal hearts” and “good-will” of her “subjects”. This phrase shows her superiority and status as Queen as she refers to the soldiers as her “subjects”; however it can also be seen as loving or kind as she praises them at the same time, this once again shows her more feminine or loving side. This can be proven quite effective in her speech as she does not deny the fact that she is a woman and nor does she try and make her speech more masculine, however she is trying to prove that she has the will and the courage of any king. She states this when she uses the antithesis “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king”, by using this contrast and imagery in the phrase she is trying to say that she knows what they are thinking but they don’t know her passion. The fact that she is admitting that she is a “feeble” woman makes it much harder for the soldiers to criticize her and it makes her seem more impressive.
Mabel responded with aggressive communication by stating she was the granddaughter of the chairman and she’d “get Rosas’s head on a platter”. In my opinion, Rosa handled Mabel’s insubordination to the best of her ability. She was very professional, assertive and respectful. The way Mabel responded was not only aggressive but threatening, insubordinate, and disrespectful. In my opinion, the only option left is disciplinary action for Mabel.
Queen Elizabeth encountered lots of controversy during her rule as a woman. Those who knew her supported her, whereas government and religious officials opposed her. Whatever the reaction, the Queen responded authoritatively and with propaganda. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, there were many people who did not support her, but also many that did. These people were mostly ones who knew her personally or worked for her.
Johnathan Liu Ms. Zymajtis English 10A 16 December 2011 Courage In this novel, there was a lot of courage expressed in many of the characters. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee uses the characters Mrs. Dubose, Atticus, Jem, and Scout to say that those who are truly courageous stand up for what they believe in no matter the consequences. Mrs. Dudbose was an elderly, ill tempered and racist woman. She was very courageous in the novel. “It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what” (Lee p.112).
