Abstract
This paper takes a look at the life of the 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt. It explores the achievements and failures of this past US president, both as president and in his personal life.
From the Paper
"Although somewhat enchanted with teaching as a career, Theodore soon became a candidate for the 21st Assembly district and served in three sessions between 1882 and 1884. On October 27, 1880, he married Alice Hathaway Lee who died four years later following the birth of daughter Alice Lee. At twenty-six, Theodore became a delegate to the Chicago Republican National Convention and soon after wrote six more books, one being The Winning of the West in 1889. On December 2, 1886, he married Edith Kermit Carow and soon became a prominent supporter of Republican ideals.
In May of 1889, President Harrison made Roosevelt a civil service commissioner in Washington, where he learned the inner workings of the capital. His new political philosophy was then addressed in American Ideals and Other Essays (1897) and always maintained that his greatest wish as a politician was to "keep out the crooks in Washington and protect the competent and the common man" (Mowry, 78)."

Abstract
This paper examines how, in the selected articles, both authors argue parallel, albeit different, views regarding Roosevelt. It looks at how Burton argues that Roosevelt had Darwinist views when it came to social reform in the world. In contrast, it shows how Oyos argues that a great, powerful, and prepared military is the cornerstone of a country's might and useful when spreading the foreign policy and how Roosevelt was the first president to think consistently about the link between military technology, national military power, and foreign policy.
From the Paper
"As President of the United States between 1901 and 1909, Theodore Roosevelt, while being one of the most ambitious political figures in American history, was also extremely influential, both culturally and socially, and reflected the times in which he lived as no other President. His political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890's and into the opening years of the 20th century."

Abstract
The paper discusses the real effect of the assassination of President McKinley. The paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt entered the White House after three decades during which Congress had consistently had the upper hand over the President. The paper further examines his many accomplishments, of which the Panama Canal is considered very important; and although Congress wasn't always on his side when it came to building the canal, Roosevelt used his charm, his brains, and his presidential power to push it through.
From the Paper
"On matters of foreign policy, Roosevelt was both aggressively expansionistic and cautiously temperate, depending on the situation. He was given to occasional bombast; according to an article in Naval History by James R. Homes, Roosevelt once told a Naval War College audience that "No triumph of peace is quite so great as the supreme triumphs of war." Roosevelt's geopolitical views "aligned to a great extent" with Read Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan, Homes explains, and Mahan believed that in order to "wrest away" America's "rightful share of foreign commerce," the U.S. would need "a battle fleet able to 'fight, with reasonable chances of success, the largest force likely to be brought against it'.""

"What was demonstrated by Roosevelt here is that his military charisma made Wilson look as though he were not strong enough to lead the nation into war. In other words, the nation was ready to fight and Roosevelt represented a more true relation with the desires of the common man. The sub attacks by the Germans were considered as cowardly and barbaric which infuriated American citizens."

Abstract
The paper discusses the main domestic problems facing the U.S, as well as the expansionist policy in effect before Roosevelt took over as President. The paper explains how Roosevelt was influential in initiating progressive labor laws in the areas of child protection and workers compensation. The paper notes Roosevelt's staunch support of ?Manifest Destiny,? which appointed the U.S. as the sole protector of all the lands in the western hemisphere and emphasizes the role he played as a dedicated environmentalist.
From the Paper
"Of all the positive attributes associated with Theodore Roosevelt, his viewpoint on the role of American citizens in national and international affairs is most powerful and worth defending. Roosevelt once remarked that no one has the right to devote their entire lives to making money. He once said to a fervent admirer that ?a man wields tremendous power for good or for evil. . . the public has built up for you a personality; now give that personality to whatever interest you. . . in your neighborhood, your city or your state,? a declaration very similar in nature to that of President Kennedy in 1960 and surely effective in today?s world considering America?s involvement in global affairs. Thus, Theodore Roosevelt certainly brought about widespread and effective change, not only in America but also on a world scale that has yet to be matched by any U.S. President."

Abstract
This paper examines how Theodore Roosevelt played a role in expanding the president's powers (prerogative powers), especially in the international arena. It analyzes the various methods TR used to expand his office's powers, including fear tactics, executive agreements, appealing to the public during press conferences and a lot of good public relations so that his words spoke much louder than his actions.
From the Paper
"One of Roosevelt's (self-proclaimed) major accomplishments was making the building of the Panama Canal possible. In 1903, the government of Colombia refused to ratify an agreement to permit the US to begin construction of a canal. Roosevelt wasn't going to give up on the canal and he even considered simply taking possession of the isthmus with the help of the military. Instead, he took a less drastic, though still outrageous, route - he encouraged Panama to secede from Colombia, and ordered the US navy to prevent Colombian warships from putting down the revolt. Roosevelt then promptly recognized the new nation of Panama, and negotiated an agreement with the new country that granted the US a zone in which to construct a canal. Roosevelt's actions with Colombia excluded Congress from its constitutionally assigned responsibilities in matters of war and peace. And they also increased the president's power in foreign matters."

Theodore Roosevelt, 2002.
A brief look at the character and politics of this American president.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Theodore Roosevelt, elected as President of the United States in 1901 and 1904, was one of the most ambiguous characters in American history. This paper looks at some of his political beliefs and attitudes, both progressive and conservative, which influenced and shaped many domestic and international events which took place in the early 1890?s and into the opening years of the twentieth century. It focuses mainly on "The Manifest Destiny" and the conflict between the rich and poor classes within American society.
From the Paper
"Yet in contrast to these progressive beliefs, Roosevelt was a staunch supporter of ?Manifest Destiny,? first promoted by President James Madison in 1822 through his Monroe Doctrine which appointed the U.S. as the prime protector of all the lands in the Western hemisphere. Yet Roosevelt went one step further with his Roosevelt Corollary which stated that the U.S. could intervene in any legal contract between a country and a smaller, less civilized country in order to assure that the best interest of America was always at the forefront. Thus, with the U.S. controlling its neighbor?s affairs, the argument maintained that America would control its own destiny."

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, 1992.

From the Paper
"This study will examine the relationships of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson to the Progressive Era and will compare the attitudes of the two administrations toward that era.
The Progressive Movement, one of several progressive periods of the last century, extended from about 1900 to 1914 and represented a political and economic program which, in general, aimed at increasing the role of the people in government, and decreasing the role of establishment forces. The Progressive Movement was largely reform-based, but it is too simple to say that it was simply liberal or populist. Political considerations helped shape different areas of the progressive approach to reform, and there are clear differences between the progressivism of Roosevelt and Wilson."

Abstract
A paper which compares and examines American Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt. Included are discussions of World War I under Wilson, social and economic reforms taken on by both presidents, the Anthracite coal mining crisis under Roosevelt, and others. All of the important events that took place during these men's presidencies are presented comprehensively and concisely, leading to the ultimate conclusion that Theodore Roosevelt was the greater statesman of the two.
From the Paper
"Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were two presidents with completely different personalities and strategies while in office. The thing that they do share, however, is that they both left an indelible mark on the United States and the world at large. While Theodore Roosevelt showcased his "speak softly and carry a big stick" philosophy, Wilson preached a more moral-based, pacifistic approach to the presidency. Certainly, both men had an extremely important effect on the molding of history."

?My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke, 2006.

Abstract
The writer of the poem examines the symbolism of darkness that appears throughout Roethke's poem "My Papa's Waltz." On the surface the poem appears to be a happy memory of the author's childhood but deeper examination proves that this is not necessarily so. This paper explores the combination of the juxtaposition of themes, the unbalanced iambic rhythm and the diction of the poem that clearly explains why this work is so highly entertaining to ponder and discuss. The writer of this paper also supplies a brief biography of poet Theodore Roethke.
From the Paper
"Still, even in this context, the darkness is evident. In fact, it may portray an even deeper element: that of a battle between genders. It is easy to suppose that the poem is collusion between males (father and son) against a female (mother) In fact, this is likely not only an attempt for Roethke to recapture his own father's rough attempts at love in an autobiographical way, but also reflects the dual tone of this dance and the poem as a whole, saying it was partly rough and scary and partly dear and loving. Also, at this moment in the dance, the speaker directs his focus toward the mother and away from the father, thus heightening the opposition between his parents."

Abstract
Jazz is the dynamic tension between the expected and the improvised. Miles Davis was brought up torn between his well-to-do white-emulating upbringing and his black heritage. Davis not only bridged this gap but helped create entire new musical vocabularies throughout his long and varied career as a jazz trumpeter. This report shows his evolution and his continuing influence on other musicians, as described in his biography, "Miles Davis: A Biography," written by Ian Carr.

"He worked with and was a catalyst for Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, and countless others(p234). Many times in his career it had been declared that he already "peaked" and was a remnant of the 50's, of bebop, of cool jazz, of fusion jazz. But he never let himself grow complacent and become an icon of the past. By not producing unless he had something new to say, he was able to continually stay relevant, and re-invent himself every few years (p183). "

'Effi Briest' by Theodore Fontane, 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews the novel 'Effi Briest' by Theodore Fontane, a poignant portrait of 19th century Prussian society. According to the paper, the novel highlights the conflict between the social selves of Effi Briest and Innstetten, and the roles they feel they are forced to play in a repressive 19th century society.
From the Paper
"Her marriage's cruel reality is very different from the romantic tales she spun as a child. This illustrates how false constructions encouraged in the minds of young girls to shield them from the truth of marriage. Before marrying, Effi thinks mainly of her trousseau, not the potential stresses of a new life away from her home. "Effi in front of the wing at the work-table on which the pile of linen and underwear constantly grew," thinks of clothes, not of her husband. (10) But Innstetten is not the dashing officer he was when he courted Effi's mother. Rather, he has become a workaholic. Life has changed him and coarsened him, making him more focused on money, pride, ambition, and principles. He is more interested in what society thinks of his union than how his wife feels. Also, his desire for marriage has a great deal to do with his career ambitions. He chose Effi partly because he assumes that she is like her mother, the woman he fell in love with many years ago. He cannot see Effi for herself, as she truly is as a human being.
Innstetten is not a bad man, nor uncouth, as another character describes him, he is not a "careerist, he's not that, he's too dignified for that, but he's ambitious for promotion." (25) His ambition has much to do with his desire for social esteem and correctness as it does with money. But there is little to do for Effi in his hometown Kessin, especially as in her eyes her older husband seems cold and reserved, preoccupied with things she can little understand."
