Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth was a strong ruler of England in 1588. She gave a speech dressed in armor and ready for battle with her troops against the Spanish Armada. Even though her troops were tired, underpaid, and hungry, she gave them an encouraging speech which helped them win the battle. It did not matter that they were outnumbered. In her speech, she talked with confidence. The subject of her speech was about the war, how the soldiers needed to stand tall, and how they needed to win. The location of her speech was on the battle field during the war between England and Spain in 1588. She talked bravely to her troops and bodyguards. It was a speech meant for all of England and she wanted to pass on the message of how she was going to fight until the very end. She wanted to tell the tired, hungry soldiers that they need to fight until the end. She informed them that she will fight with them, she encouraged them to do their best, and she lead them to victory. Queen Elizabeth, the one giving the speech, held her head high and admitted that she might be a weak and feeble woman, but she will fight as a king because she has a heart just like a king. She gave a speech which was strong, motivational, and helpful and made the soldiers look at their queen as a confident leader.

Looking at the SOAPST of this piece of literature helps us analyze who is giving the speech, where, why, and how it has affected other people. The speech was strong and therefore effective and made the listeners look up to the queen and it also encouraged them to win the battle against Spain even though they were outnumbered.
