    According to Theodore Roosevelt‚ “in any moment of decision‚ the best thing you can do is the right thing‚ the next best thing is the wrong thing and the worst thing you can do is nothing”. To be immoral‚ it is not adhering to ethical or moral principles (what you believe is right). When something is declared unethical‚ it is against the standards of social or professional behavior.

    In the 1912 election‚ I think I would have voted for Theodore Roosevelt. I found it easy to critique all of the candidates in one way or another. While considering my vote I had to consider the time‚ after all it was 100 years ago and people had a different mindset. I would vote for Teddy Roosevelt based on his earlier years as president. Often times he was portrayed as a spiteful man‚ but he did a very good job serving as president. He was known as a “trust-buster”‚ contrary to Taft‚ he did not

    Analyzing Root Cellar by Theodore Roethke At a first glance I had no idea how to analyze this poem. Depicting through all the meanings is not my strongest suit. I had to read it a couple times before I started to have my own opinion on how to analyze it. For me‚ this poem is talking about being different and the influence society has upon it. Within this poem I can grasp some symbols that can have many meanings. The “Cellar” portrayed people who were different. Every one who is perceived as being

    In Theodore Roethke’s poem entitled “My Papa’s Waltz” Roethke sets the scene with a young child with his or her father dancing around the house. In the poem there were words used such as romped and waltzed. Romped may have been used to describe them as to dancing wildly and having fun. While on the other hand waltzed is a bit more graceful and smooth. While I read this poem I took away that the son or daughter was enjoying time with their dad. There are certain lines in the poem that can become

From the title‚ it appears that the father and child were dancing‚ seeing as a waltz is a type of dance. But this is no dance. While waltzing‚ one person leads while the other follows. The father is the leader in this situation‚ showing dominance over his child. This “waltz” is simply something that the father does often. The narrator is
