Elizabeth Response

Prior to reading this packet about Queen Elizabeth, I only knew a small bit about her life. Everything I knew were the basic, scattered and sometimes unknown parts of her life. I was actually very interested to know more about her life and how she came to be known as a queen. I felt somewhat bad for her because over a small span of time she had one mother, and about five step-mothers! Henry VIII was a huge swinger! In addition to that, she was constantly surrounded by many deaths, one of the main deaths being her father Henry VIII. I thought that the whole mystery behind her and Thomas Seymour's relationship also very weird because of everything that followed from it. It was just more wonderful stuff that was added to Queen Elizabeth's life. I did not like the fact that she was also accused of being associated with Seymour's "master plan". Despite all of the other tribulations that followed her after,including her bother's death, she was able to fight through it. I did like that she was able to learn some many different languages when she was younger. All in all , Queen Elizabeth I had a very interesting life; both good and bad.
