What exactly did Queen Elizabeth do to make her such a popular ruler?
Q. I entered the History Fair at my school and the theme is Actions and Legacies. I picked Queen Elizabeth because she's popular and should be easy to do research on. I thought wrong!

A. Okay, Elizabeth I accomplished many great things during her reign; physically and hypothetically. -She proved to all citizens in a time when women were thought to be the inferior sex, that she could rise above for all of women-kind. And one of her most famous quotes given at Tilbury in 1588 reflects that: "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too." By refusing to marry, she showed that she could rule without a male counterpart. -She defeated the Spanish Armada in 1588, which was one of the largest and most renowned armada in the world.

The white foundation worn by Elizabeth and leading ladies of court was known as ceruse . Add: She did not have syphilis. One of the attributes mentioned about her was that she was always in robust health.

A. How I usually write an introduction starting off really broad and narrowing it down into your specific topic. That way it eases the reader into what you are discussing instead of just throwing it in their face. That's just a suggestion. Example introduction for this paper: Arthur Miller's legendary play, The Crucible, harshly portrays the historical events of the Salem witch trials through a crowd of unforgettable characters. Fear and paranoia drive these Puritans to reveal their true temperaments while facing their accusers in the bias courts before unyielding judges. While eventually all the people of Salem become subject to this maddness, two women stand out above the rest. Although they both heighten the tension and suspense of the… [cont.]
