...The Queen that was a King In 1588, the Spanish invasions upon England posed as a severe threat among the British, thus the general morale of the nation lessened.In response to the threat, Queen Elizabeth I gave a speech to the English army at Tilbury, which consisted of optimistic attitude, authoritative leadership, and reassuring tone, in order to fortify the confidence of her apparent timid soldiers and strive for victory against the Spanish Armada. In the effort to encourage her troops, Queen Elizabeth I uses her optimistic attitude to display patriotism to the troops and people of England. As an assertive leader, it was important for Queen Elizabeth to display a confident attitude for the sake of her fellow citizens. Her optimistic attitude was displayed during the speech as seen when she says “I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king.” She indicates that though she is a woman and people infer that women are weak, she is as strong as a king and no one can kill her confidence. Society typically functions well when the designated leader shows determination and trust in his or her people. In this situation, the Queen of England must present herself with an attitude that pleases her community for the benefit of nationalism. Her confidence remains consistent throughout her speech and demonstrates how she has faith in her troops to prevail. Queen Elizabeth’s authoritative identity is shown as she addresses her troops...

...Queen Hatshepsut the King Herself World Cultures I – HUM 111 Your Name Professor April Castagna Strayer University Date Queen Hatshepsut the King Herself It is believed that Queen Hatshepsut the Fifth Pharaoh of Eighteenth Dynasty of Egypt dressed as a man to gain support of the Egyptians. After her death, her successor and stepson, King Thutmose III removed as many remnants of her rule as possible. Although a pharaoh, her mummified remains and tomb have never been conclusively found. Queen Hatshepsut was a master politician, and an elegant stateswoman with enough charisma to keep control of an entire country for twenty one years. She served as queen alongside her husband, Thutmose II, but after his death claimed the role of pharaoh while acting as regent to her stepson, Thutmose III. She reigned peaceably, building temples and monuments resulting in the flourish of Egypt. After her death, Thutmose III tried to eradicate her memory by having images of her as king systematically chiseled off temples, monuments, and obelisks (Brown, 2009). There are two theories on how Queen Hatshepsut become pharaoh of Egypt and they are as follows: The first theory is the fragrance of perfume, rulers in Egypt used scents to instill awe in the people of Egypt. She personally led expeditions to modern Eritrea to scout for redolent plants from which to make incense (Kean, 2011). These exotic scents that she created or had created helped cement her status as a legitimate monarch...

...With The Queen, British director Stephen Frears sheds light on one of England's most misunderstood public figures. The film, set during the week after Princess Di's death in 1997, offers a glimpse into what might have happened behind palace doors, when Queen Elizabeth II was caught between a relentless media frenzy and the desire to protect the royal family. The death of Diana, affectionately referred to as "the people's princess," shook up the country and left legions of grieving fans desperate for someone to blame—the paparazzi came under fire for chasing her before the fatal car accident, and, shortly after, their rage shifted onto the Queen for keeping her grief silent and undetectable. In other words, they wanted their Head of State to radiate a bit more warmth than the nearest refrigerator. The Queen begins with Her Majesty (played with understated perfection by Helen Mirren) discussing politics with the man painting her portrait. The opening credits pop up as she is gazing off to the side, and then, unexpectedly, she stares fearlessly into the camera. It's a perfect introduction to how the movie plays out: honestly, straight-forwardly, and without any sugarcoating. When Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) is elected Prime Minister, his friendly demeanor ("call me Tony") contrasts with the icy exterior of the Queen. Their first meeting, awkward and abrupt, hints that they have different ways of doing business—and their contained oil-and-vinegar dynamic resurfaces following...

...In the 1997 general election, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) becomes Britain's Labour prime minister. However, the Queen (Helen Mirren) is slightly wary of Blair and his pledge to modernise Britain, but he promises to respect the Royal Family. Three months later, Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash at the Alma Bridge tunnel in Paris. Blair's director of communications, Alastair Campbell (Mark Bazeley), prepares a speech in which Diana was described as "the people's princess". Blair gives his speech the next day and the phrase catches on. Within the next few days after Diana's death, millions of people across London display an outpouring of grief at Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Meanwhile, the Royal Family are still at their summer estate in Balmoral Castle. Diana's death sparks division among members of the family, in which they observe that since Diana was divorced from her husband, Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) a year earlier, she was no longer a part of the family. Diana's funeral arrangements were thus best left as a private affair of her noble family, the Spencers. Charles argues that the mother of a future king cannot be dismissed so lightly, while the Queen authorises the use of an aircraft of the British Royal Flight to bring Diana's body back to Britain. In London, flowers pile up before the palace railings, which forces the changing of the Queen's guard to use another gate. British tabloids become inflammatory about the lack of a statement from the Royal...

Though Minato is a powerful paladin by nature, he also knows that even he and the group can have limits and has learned how to heal along his journey to redeem his past, and though Vasant maybe his leader, Minato sometimes chooses not to listen to his leader’s orders. No one in the group really knows why Minato does this from time to time, but they naturally assume it deals with his past, and they rather not ask him questions about it. Minato mainly keeps to himself rarely speaks up, but when he is pissed off about something, he lets the group know that he is and sometimes, he gets in shouting matches with Clank about it. But there was a time when Minato wasn’t like this. He was once the complete polar opposite of what he is today. It dates back when he was just 4 years old, in the kingdom called Lilacia. A place that is located in East Istheria. When he was 4, He used to watch as the soldiers and king’s battle guard of warriors, and clerics would march on to take out the rival kingdoms that tried to take his kingdom away, and sometimes, his parents would be in that battle guard.

...Queen Elizabeth Throughout history, men are seen as powerful, strong identities and leaders, very few women have made their mark as an influential being; however, Queen Elizabeth is known as one of the most influential and powerful women in history because of her strong character and leadership and her ability to connect with her audience. In1588 England was caught under a major rivalry with Spain. Queen Elizabeth decided to present a very powerful speech to her troops on the battlefield, with the soul purpose to give them hope and to strengthen their British patriotism. The subject of her speech was to ensure her people that she would not give up on them and would, “…live or die amongst [them].” The powerful message was executed with an informal and motherly tone. Many techniques and certain characteristics helped construct this speech that managed to give courage to thousand of troops. One of the most important techniques that Queen Elizabeth uses in her speech is her swift code switching. Her tone is informal and very colloquial, establishing a strong connection between her and her troops. Her use of language gave a sense of equality and unity. She establishes trust between her audience when she repeatedly uses “we” instead of “you” or “me”, sounding compassionate and selfless, “…but I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faith and loving people”. Using Ethos Queen Elizabeth manages to create a strong confident character, one that the audience will easily...

...SELF ANALYSIS According to scientist people’s perception is based on their perception of what is reality, not on reality itself, therefore there are two reality in this world. The first reality is the reality based on what we believe it to be and the second is the reality which is reality in its sense. We are bounded by these realities and conflicts arise when we confuse them or try to see only one world. Our rationality is often dependent on the reality we see which makes us act in a certain way. If I would correlate myself to a chess piece, I would like to be the queen. The queen is far more powerful than the king in terms of abilities but she chooses to stay as a support rather than be the king I remembered one of my teachers in high school. We were having a class when the secretary of the principal came and have him signed the memo rotating around the faculty during that day. So as my teacher went to his desk to get a pen the secretary came in and while coming in she slipped. It was kind of embarrassing since we were there, a whole class of students, who saw her. My teacher exclaimed “Hala” and smiled. The class on the other hand was schocked not only to the event but also to the comment our teacher had. Most of us were saying “Sir grabe ka naman ang sama mo. Di mo naman lang tinulungon.” And others were laughing. However, our teacher said that a person’s kindness is not measured just by the fact that he did not help a person who fell. Reversing the saying “ a good follower...

...He lets Snow White go, bringing the queen the organs of a deer instead. What is interesting about the huntsman is he doesn’t wish to necessarily save Snow White but himself. He lets her go not because he wishes to aid her. He doesn’t want to commit such a horrid act, maybe because he doesn’t have the guts or he fears damnation. After showing her some slight mercy he runs away, letting her become lost in the forest. The huntsman knows there is little chance the girl will survive in the forest on her own, so he is really taking the easy way out by allowing the forest to do the deed. Then fearing the Evil queens anger, he brings the organs of a deer (in the film it’s a pig, some speculation about choosing another animal is because the animated film Bambi was in the works and was to be released four years after Snow...

...Stephen Frears, utilises the director's imagined memories of the events succeeding Diana's death to portray the Queen, and her actions, in a warmer light. A compelling and challenging view of Diana is also presented in the film, furthering Frears' purpose of convincing the audience of the difficulty of the Queen's position and hence softening the public image of her. Diana is initially presented through a montage of grainy archival footage, where Diana almost seems to be courting and teasing the media with her image. While this archival media footage adds authenticity to Frears' account, it also demonstrates how insulting this behaviour would have been to the rigid policies of the monarchy. Thus as Diana is depicted as causing trouble for the monarchy, sympathy for the Queen's position upon her death is created. This compelling portrayal of Diana, through historical footage, allows Frears to validate his personal memories and in this way the symbiotic nature of history and memory is revealed. insights into Queen Elizabeth II's emotions during the aftermath of Diana's death can be gained through observing the interplay between the collective and personal memories of the event. Frears' imagined interpretation of the Queen's vulnerability challenges the public's collective memory of Diana's death. Frears' perspective is immediately depicted in the opening intertextual quote from Shakespeare's Henry IV: "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". Sympathy is created as Frears suggests...

...History and story of KaruMagic: This land has a rich heritage of magical lore, of a kind found nowhere else. Its annals describe how long ago Gods, heroes and lovers lived out their highest destinies on this soil. The first inhabitants of this particular land were those of myths and legends who possessed many magical powers and abilities in many different forms. Among them were Fairies, Pixies, Dryads, Nymphs, Brownies, Sprites, Whisps, Elves, Dwarfs, Hobbits, Drow, Dark Elf, Gobblins, Trolls, Orcs, Mermaid, Mermen, water nymphs, Dragons, Drakes, Gryphons, Centaur, Fawns, Satyrs, Unicorns, Anthromorphs and many animals; and a few humans (although these beings are rare), who were known as the Galens. Being fairly peaceful and living in harmony between themselves (after they had all combined forces to rid their lands of the dreaded Dark Force that had plagued them for decades with the Dark Wars) and with nature as they followed the Druidic laws and lifestyles; this blend of creatures enjoyed their peaceful existence until they were invaded by a people known as the Celts. The Galen after many battles fell under the control of the Celts, eventually the land started to bloom. Not with impressive buildings, nor by suppressing of other cultures, like the Greek, the Persians and the Romans did, but by creating a blended society based on the Brehon Law; because the Celts after battling the Galen races for so long had become familiar with the history and learned to appreciate...
