First of all, is that Eleanor’s true wish is having a family with her new friends or being engulfed in her mom’s love? Not until nearly at the end of the book, she still had not made it clear yet. However, while driving across the oleander square, on the way to Hill House, the Queen – symbol of mother – played an important role in her daydream:
On December 9, 1948, as the United States was approaching a proposal towards the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which seemed unfair and uncompromised, first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt displayed a motivational and moving speech to allow the citizens of America to come together as one to make the best of the situation that was proposed in front of them.The analysis of the tingling speech on the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, will explore the deep rhetorical devices used to compel the audience and America, including the true purpose and background of this particular eye-opening speech.
Growing up Eleanor had low self confidence. “She was incredibly shy and awkward” states Andrew Matthews from his article “FInding her way in the Cobblestone magazine(14-15) might seem unbelievable
Chivalric romances are often centered upon the efforts of gallant knights seeking to achieve a concept known as “true knighthood” which involves embarking on quests or adventures to obtain honor, love, and Christian virtue. The brave knights of these stories are met with many obstacles to overcome, commonly in regards to rescuing or protecting a lady. In other words, the typical role of women in this period is that of the damsel in distress or a helpless, dependent lady in need of a hero. However, the stories of Chrétien de Troyes’ Yvain, the Knight of the Lion and Friedrich Heinrich Karl La Motte-Fouqué’s The Magic Ring strays from the typical role of women as the damsel in distress. Many of the women in these stories are portrayed as strong, independent women who, in many cases, are the hero themselves. Women in Chrétien and La Motte-Fouqué’s stories are given strong roles in order to highlight and emphasize the important virtues of peace, bravery, and power which ultimately transfers the role of the hero from men to women.
One of Eleanor Roosevelt’s heroic actions was that she proved to society that women can handle many responsibilities. Before her position as first lady, she was involved with
Lucy Flucker Knox helped with her own time and resources when ever possible. "I hope you will consider yourself as commander in chief of your own house,but be convinced, that there is such a thing as equal command.” By Lucy Flucker Knox. This quote means that everyone has an equal say. No one should be more powerful than someone else. This is one of the reasons she is famous. She didn’t think she had a lesser value than someone else. Lucy is a famous person because she helped everyone and was brave during the Revolutionary war.
When her husband won a seat on the New York Senate, she was initiated into the position of “official wife.” Today, we often take for granted the amount of work and responsibility that our First Ladies carry out. Michelle Obama, for example, promoted healthier food regulations in schools. In Eleanor’s time, the official wife’s job was to attend and host formal parties and make social calls. A curious, active woman like Eleanor Roosevelt was obviously bored by these tedious duties. She knew she could do more, and that’s where her reformation began. During her 12 years as First Lady, she became as controversial as her husband. Eleanor’s breadth of works and liberal advocacy was unprecedented; she completely changed the responsibility and role of women in power, particularly the position of First Lady. One example of her defiant work occurred in 1939 when the Daughters of the American Revolution refused to let Marian Anderson, an African American singer, perform in Constitution Hall. Eleanor Roosevelt promptly resigned from the organization and held a concert at the nearby Lincoln Memorial for Anderson. It turned into a large outdoor event with over 75,000 in attendance. It may have seemed a small thing for Eleanor to do, but it made a big statement: Turning the other way cannot solve the world’s problems. In the book You Learn by Living she says, “I honor the human race. When it faces life head-on, it can almost remake itself.” Roosevelt developed and built the United States through her vision for
Eleanor Roosevelt would describe herself and her husband President Franklin Delano Roosevelt; “ I’m the agitator, he’s the politician.” Sometimes while traveling and observing the country and world, she would come home with an observation that he disagreed with and would not support politically. The Civil Rights legislation was one issue that stirred contention between Eleanor and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Still, Eleanor Roosevelt would go down in history as first lady that influenced the passage of the Civil Rights legislation years later (Freedman 115-116).

Eleanor of Aquitaine was an extremely influential woman who changed the way people live. She was born in the year of 1122 and lived to be 82 years old, which was extremely old in the middle ages. She was the daughter of William X and was raised to rule Aquitaine by him. At the age of fifteen, William X, died, leaving Aquitaine for Eleanor. She was forced to marry Louis VII, who became king of France. After many boring years with Louis and her two daughters, she obtained a divorce and married King Henry II of England. The fifteen years following her marriage with Henry were the most exciting years of her life. She had eight other children, among them were Richard and John Lackland. She was independent and was capable of ruling by herself. She
“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams,” remarked Eleanor Roosevelt. As a child, Eleanor faced many challenges, but she persevered through them. Later, Eleanor cared for everyone she could, and made everyone’s dreams come true. UNICEF, an organization that supports children, now needs a new ambassador and more dreams to come true. They value education, compassion, equality, and more, so judging by how Eleanor lived her life, she would be the perfect candidate. Also, Eleanor had a unique perspective when it came to every idea, and she used her resources to make these ideas come to life. This created psychological changes in many who believed that Eleanor could not so what she wanted to, as she proved them wrong.
This made Eleanor important because it shows she was very obedient and ready for unexpected things to happen which would help her as queen. She married Louis, who was heir to the throne, right before his father died, so they became king and queen very soon after the wedding (Lewis). This is important because it shows when she knew what she wanted (to become queen) she was able to accomplish it within a short amount of time with no one stopping her which made her an important woman in history because leaders need to be able to get things done. Eleanor and Luis's marriage ended so quickly because she was such an energetic and bright person while he was the exact opposite (Lindenmuth). This shows that she was encouraged by the things she did, and if anybody ever tried to bring her down she would not waste any time with them. It shows that because once she realized that Louis was not a good match for her and he did not share the

Beowulf is an excellent piece with a lot for the readers to desire and relate to while reading. This analysis explores different escapades while examining the role of women in the literature. One thing to point out is that female characters have always received very thin attention in different pieces of literature, something that has always made many people think that their role is meager. Every piece of literature has an important message to pass across to its intended audiences. Indeed, this study seeks to demystify the male-centric mindset to promote the visibility of women in the contemporary interpretation of literary works demonstrating that women play a greater role in the literature despite the proximity given to male protagonist.
