...The Queen A film directed by Stephen Frears in 2005 Written assignment: Write an essay (700-1000 words) in which you make a portrait of either Queen Elizabeth or Prime Minister Tony Blair, based on the way the character is depicted in the film. Your essay should also include a brief characterization of either Prince Philip or Cherie Blair. You may use any of the elements of ‘cinematic technique’ and/or ‘theatrical elements’ in support of your portrayal of the characters, using the document ‘Film analysis’. The character I have chosen to portray from Stephen Frears movie, “The Queen”, is Queen Elizabeth who is conflicted and under pressure due to the high pressure from her people, who wants to see her respond and show grief for the sudden death of Princess Diana. The Queen Queen Elizabeth is the main character in the movie and from the start we get a first impression of her as her majestic and dominant character as shown in the scene where she is in official outfit, while her personal painter paints a picture of her. This impression changes shortly after when she starts discussing why she can’t vote, and wishes she could be partial just once in her life, here she shows a side of a round character and steps away from the stereotypical view of a Queen, who is opinion less and shows inclination of superiority, in this scene she shows humanity and when the camera pans in for a close-up you can see her, otherwise very tight...

...the motherland. The well being of non British subjects was below the priority of making money. An example of this is found in Britain trade and commerce with China. China exported several products like tea, silk and other types of food that Britain came to as daily necessities without which they could not live. In return, Britain began exporting opium that was grown in India en masse to the Chinese population. This extremely addictive and destructive substance had a very detrimental effect on the people and society in China. This caused Commissioner Lin, a high government official to write a letter to Queen Victoria of England in 1839 abhorring and pointing out the injustices that were being practiced. He lays out a logical argument to the new young Queen, arguing for end of this deadly commodity exchange. ! He starts out the letter with formalities, being respectful to the Queen and her position, posturing for the rest of the letter. This demonstrates that the Chinese commissioner knew that this issue needed to be approached carefully and with political finesse in hopes that it would be well received and responded to. He characterizes the Rule Britannia Essay 2 Chinese emperor as having a benevolent...

...Sarah Waring Topics in Hip Hop Thomas Taylor Cultural Analysis: Queen Latifah Queen Latifah is an African American female MC turned TV and movie actress. Her raps and or songs served different social purposes and her focus has remained unbreakable. Latifah’s values could and can be heard in her music. Latifah was skilled at her craft and was able to reach out and connect with her intended audience. It is a known fact that Queen Latifah’s music is deeply connected to the women’s empowerment movement. Latifah’s music served a plethora of social purposes. The term feminist refers to and individual that advocates for women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. “I am someone with or without this man. I am someone with or without this job, with or without these tight jeans. I am a strong woman. I can survive," (Latifah, ABC News) said while explaining the importance of confidence in the lives of women.” We see that Latifah is what one may refer to as a feminist in her song, “Ladies First”. Points made within this song received a substantial amount of attention from the media because of its political standpoint. The song depicts how women come second in society and while the discussion of the topic is great, women and their place in society is a very controversial topic. Latifah stood her grounds and remained true to people of her gender (specifically African-American women) and she did so by repeating the phrase “ladies first”...

...Queen Elizabeth I faced a daring task. Her and all of her troops gathered in fear of a threatened invasion of their country, England, by the Netherlands. As time passes and no army arrived, the soldiers realized there would be no battle that night. Elizabeth did not take this scare lightly. She knew that she had to address her troops. With the careful use of pathos, appealing the the emotions of her soldiers, and uniting them as one, she would persuade them to fight towards victory in the battles to come. By using the pathos she had the power to prove that she may "have the body of a weak and feeble woman" but she did have "the heart of a king" (12-13). Throughout the speech, Elizabeth employs logos, ethos, and pathos but the...

...Kathryn T. Gines explores how myths and stereotypes of blackness are produced in television in her essay, “Queen Bees and Big Pimps: Sex and Sexuality in Hip Hop” published in 2005. She exemplifies this through existentialist philosophical notions of objectification, the gaze, and performativity, to determine authenticity and make choice in either conforming to society’s standard of Black, or creating new, radical performances in society. Her points targeted mainstream hip-hop artists but failed to mention how the puppeteers that own the industry control these artists. While the images do portray a derogatory image of Blacks, they are only transmitted because white-owned companies own and project these images. While it is imperative to inform...

...Queen Liliuokalani Letter Analysis. Queen Liliuokalani named her heir to the throne of Hawaii on April 10th, 1877, and was proclaimed queen on January 29th, 1891. It came to her attention that the United States had invaded her country unlawfully. In return, she wrote a letter protesting her country’s land to the United States Representative.

In 1887, the Queen’s brother stood on the throne.

...Running head: MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES: DAIRY QUEEN Mission, Vision and Values: Dairy Queen University of Phoenix MMPBL/590 February 1, 2010 The Dairy Queen system's recipe for success has been simple for more than 60 years. It's been a combination of hard-working people who own and operate restaurants and great-tasting food and tempting treats served in our establishments. The founders of the Dairy Queen system were men and women who introduced a new kind of dessert treat and, in the process, developed the foundation of the franchising industry. The history of the Dairy Queen system is a story of a unique product that created an industry (Dairy Queen, 2007). The story of Dairy Queen began on August 4, 1938, with a ten cent product, in Kankakee, Illinois. A father and son in the mix plant business in Green River, Illinois, had been experimenting with a soft frozen dairy product for some time. They contacted Sherb Noble, a good friend and customer, who agreed to run the "all you can eat" trial sale at his walk-in ice cream store. Within two hours, he dished out more than 1,600 servings of the new dessert. Back then, food franchising was all but unheard of, but the new product's potential made it a natural for such a system. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941, there were less than 10 Dairy Queen stores. However shortly after the war, the system took off at a pace virtually unrivaled before or since. With only 100 stores in 1947, it grew...

...itself with the help of unique characteristics. An example of mimicry, called Batesian mimicry, is observed in butterflies, in which different species have similar wing coloration. Viceroy butterflies have developed wings that are similar to those of the Monarch and Queen butterflies. Viceroy butterflies have long been considered palatable butterfly species that participate in Batesian mimicry to protect themselves from predators, by copying the less palatable Monarch and Queen butterflies. However, not enough studies have been conducted to further assess this claim. This study provides insight into whether the Viceroy is indeed a Batesian mimic, in comparison the Queen and Monarch butterfly species. In the experiment,...

...Character Analysis of Queen Gertrude Gertrude is the Queen of Denmark, and the mother to Hamlet. In the play, Gertrude doesn’t mean to intentionally hurt anyone, but her poor judgment is the main contributing factor to the unfortunate events. She also tends to be insensitive and lacks the ability to read her son’s emotions, as well as Claudius. The decisions she makes ultimately lead to the tragic ending. Poor judgment and insensitivity towards her son are her main character flaws, which can first be seen in Act I, Scene 2. Since her son Prince Hamlet is mourning the loss of his father, she should’ve been more conscious and sensitive towards his feelings and refrained from having a relationship with Claudius. Claudius is the brother of King Hamlet and Gertrude should’ve realized how embarrassed her son Hamlet would be in the aftermath because it was considered to be incest for a widow to marry her husband's brother. But Gertrude is not in touch with Hamlet's feelings to know why he is angry. He expresses his anger during his first soliloquy: “O most wicked speed: to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets, It is not, nor it cannot come to good, But break my heart, for I must hold my tongue.” (I.ii. 156-159) Gertrude lacks awareness and therefore is unable to realize that her marriage to Claudius hurt her son and is seen as incest to him and others. She figured that if she’d waited to remarry, it would’ve given Hamlet time to grieve and he...
