MCAS Short Answer Practice


“Queen Elizabeth’s Speech to Her Navy on the invasion of the Spanish Armada” shows her ability to use her female identity to spur her soldiers on. In her speech Queen Elizabeth tries to persuade her subjects being a woman doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the heart and strength to lead them. She states, “I have but have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart of a king”. Regardless of her appearance, she seems very powerful and motivated to be king. In general Queen Elizabeth persuades us that she is noble, and believes she has the compassion and power to rule England.
