645 Words3 Pages

The war I fight against my parent’s extreme drug abuse has been a long-lost battle, though my opponent is no army, and my life is no war our struggles are equal. The Spanish Netherlands continuously lost battles and then eventually the war against the English in 1580, they fought again and again.

    She refers back to her citizens as other positive adjectives – such as “faithful,” “loyal,” and “good-will” – proving that she believes in them and their actions. The queen has no doubt their loyalty to her will be proven in victory. She then admits that “I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king.” This abstract diction adds strong connotations to her literal and metaphorical strength. The heart is the center of all emotions; and, in this case, that emotion is passion and love.
