ARGUMENT:Ive decided to write about Queen Elizabeth the 2nd , after I saw The

Olympic Games Opening Ceremony, where she played the role of a Bond girl.

Thats where I noticed that she is not only a national treasure of the United

Kingdom, but she also has a good sense of humor. I consider her a very

elegant and sophisticated woman and I like the fact that she is very involved in

humanitarian campaigns. I like the fact that she is also involved in almost all

of the national events. She is the symbol of a country who wants ruled of the

planet and that is nothing short of impressive.
