    The United States did not plan to become involved in World War I. Woodrow Wilson tried his best to stay out of conflict and remain neutral.

    This book has a very good theme but was not written to entertain the mind of a high school teen. The theme of friendship and the theme of telling the truth instead of hiding from it can help you overcome problems with your friend helped me out in life personally. I saw how what someone can see as white lie can produce even worse problems than the problems that would occur for telling the truth. I have been in situations where I could easily get out of a dilemma by lying but it was exceptionally wrong to do so. I thought this story was boring because besides Finny’s death, Finny falling out of the tree, and the “trials” on Gene there wasn’t much action. The writing of Knowles taught me to always do what is right no matter the consequence for it, because there may be greater consequences for not telling the truth.…

    Theodore Roosevelt Report

    To many, Theodore Roosevelt is just one of the 44 presidents staring blankly out of a U.S. History textbook page, but he, along with three other noteworthy presidents, is immortalized in stone on Mt. Rushmore for a reason. His remarkable life story began even before his presidency: he “rose like a rocket” in his political position through introducing modern technology and reforms to the police system, and gained glory as a volunteer in the Rough Riders during their victory at San Juan Hill in Cuba. On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt succeeded President William McKinley and became the youngest to ever become president. He was the first to perform an assortment of other feats, such as riding an airplane and submarine, winning the Nobel Peace Prize, and most importantly, becoming the first modern president. He referred to the White House as a “bully pulpit” (a position sufficiently conspicuous to provide an opportunity to speak out and be listened to), while regulating monopolies--from which he gained the title of “trust buster”--and enforcing a program of domestic reforms that he coined “the square deal.” His beliefs were based on the “stewardship theory of presidency,” which directs the president “to do anything that the needs of the Nation demanded unless such action was forbidden by the Constitution or by the laws.” Unlike his predecessors, Roosevelt did not remain in the comfort of the White House, but instead traveled to other countries for campaigns, becoming the first president to leave the United States. His destinations included Africa, where he sought artifacts for the Smithsonian, hunting, and writing inspiration; and Panama, where he undertook the construction of the Panama Canal--the “greatest achievement of [his] presidency.” However, after a narrow escape from an assassination attempt during his Bull Moose campaign, Roosevelt retreated to his home in Sagamore Hill, where he stayed for 34 years until his death in 1919, due to cardiovascular disease.…

    The central idea from “State of the Union Address (1941)” is communicated through observations, examples, and expert testimony. For instance, Roosevelt begins a section of his address with the observation that the elements of a healthy and strong democracy are those people intuitively understand. This supports the central idea. For example, Roosevelt cites specific ways of how to improve the social economy. For expert testimony, Roosevelt expresses confidence in the American people. All of these details support Roosevelt's central idea that the nation can meet the challenges of the new…

    The rising young Republican politician Theodore Roosevelt unexpectedly became the 26th president of the United States in September 1901, after the assassination of William McKinley. Young and physically robust, he brought a new energy to the White House, and won a second term on his own merits in 1904. Roosevelt confronted the bitter struggle between management and labor head-on and became known as the great “trust buster” for his strenuous efforts to break up industrial combinations under the Sherman Antitrust Act. He was also a dedicated conservationist, setting aside some 200 million acres for national forests, reserves and wildlife refuges during his…

    Theodore Roosevelt was a really accomplished man and created several contributions to Yankee Politics and to the yank approach. Most of his contributions came once he became president, N. Y., once he took the oath of the workplace on Sept. 14, 1901. Before taking workplace, Roosevelt’s personal appeal got him the national name of being a shrewd however honest man, and therefore the new electoral president Chief Executive detected this and proceeded to appoint Roosevelt because of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1897. Shortly when his appointment, the U.S.S. Maine, that was anchored off the coast of the capital of Cuba, Cuba (which was beneath Spanish management then) and killed some 234 us sailors.

    Who knew that one great leader from Dublin, Ireland and another from Hyde Park, New York could share similar ideas, goals, and ways of treatment? Winston Churchill, born on November 30, 1874, was the great leader previously mentioned from Dublin, Ireland. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, born on January 30,1882, was the second from Hyde Park, New York. These two men were leaders during the 1930s and 1940s. I will be comparing and contrasting them. The places they were born was just one difference between them. There are many similarities as well as differences in their political ideologies, their treatment of citizens, and their goals of leadership.…

    At the point when Coolidge moved into the White House, he introduced a rocker on the entryway patio, in which he delighted in sitting in the early night and smoking his stogies. Alice Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt's little girl, got a kick out of the chance to comment that Coolidge looked as though he had been "weaned on a pickle." When he grinned, somebody once said, it was "similar to ice separating in a New England waterway." But quite a bit of his notoriety for hush was intentionally developed; in discourse, as in such a variety of ranges, Coolidge regarded watchfulness the better a portion of valor as well as an instrument of sound…

    I am Herbert Hoover. I was the 31st president of the United States and my term was notably marked by the stock market crash and the beginnings of the Great Depression. I gained a reputation as a humanitarian in World War I by leading hunger-relief efforts in Europe as head of the American Relief Administration. In my early years, I was just an ordinary boy. As the second of three children in a family of Quakers, who valued honesty, industriousness, and simplicity, I strived to honor those principles over the course of my life. I attended several Quaker schools and became part of the first class at Stanford University. I graduated in four years with a degree in geology. I was on track for becoming a mining engineer.…

    Herbert Hoover in his early life went through many trials and tribulations. The man that became president was once a boy with a dark childhood. Herbert Clark Hoover was born on August 10, 1874 in the state of Iowa. At the early age of nine Herbert was left as an orphan. These early experiences of his childhood left him scared with a dark past; because of these experiences from his early life “his boyhood experiences left Hoover permanently reclusive and wary to a degree that not even decades of success could erase, and they would have unfortunate political consequences when he sought to lead the nation” (P1). These experiences of his childhood not only affected him as a child or young adult, but also as an adult that became the president of the United Sates as well.…

    “In 1899, two years before assuming the presidency of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt published an article entitled, “Expansion and Peace" in the popular weekly political magazine the Independent. The article's title perfectly encapsulated Roosevelt's argument that Americans and Europeans needed to work together to guarantee world peace by expanding their civilization through imperial rule” (Walter 319).…

    I really liked the book. The book leaves a little more importance towards the horrible meatpacking industry than towards poverty suffered by the workers. I would recommend this book to everyone because of how interesting the details were and how eye opening it could be to many. I learned a lot from this book especially: being poor can ruin a family, immigrating to a new place to accomplish the American Dream can be a long rocky road, greed ruined thousands of lives and families, meatpacking industry killed and infected a lot of people, not giving up fully can lead to something good coming out of your life even when you’re left with nothing. The book relates to American History by being the cause of the FDA and hope to socialism. The outcome of the story was that nobody cared about the socialism expression, instead they focused on the atrocities of the meat factory and the exploitation of the workers. The book brought much needed attention to the atrocities. So much that Theodore Roosevelt read the novel. He was astounded at the conditions and made a quick move to fight them: Roosevelt established the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA regulated and inspected food products and helped bring an end to the exploitation of workers and unsanitary…

    First the story itself was great. It informed me on how back in the 1900's job lost was never a big problem. Andrew explained how the people who had jobs only wanted time off from work. Andrew then explains how the work industries have limited job openings and longer hours. This makes their current workers tired and frustrated. He supports what he say's by explaining how workers have longer hours, and why their stressed out.…
