Blog Assignment 2

1. www.theodoreroosevelt.org
This website is amazing. It gives great detail about anything you would need to know to get to know more about Theodore Roosevelt. It has different links to click on to guide you on what you want to read about. It has biography link, photographic bio, timeline, quotes, and much much more. This is quite a resourceful site. It helps to understand more and is going to be helpful in my essay.

2. www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/theodoreroosevelt/
This website is definetly credible. It just does not give enough information to be able to use in my essay. This site gives a quick overview as his life as president. It does not go into great detail, but some may learn about some of the hightlights as president.

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt
I have always found these websites to be helpful in my writing of essays. This type of website uses other resources to create their site. There are many different catagories on this site. This is why I like them so much. It gives information about every little single thing that occured in Roosevelt's life and all the great accomplishments that he made. It has a variety of information.

4. www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/theodore_roosevelt.html
This website was very different from the rest of the sites I explored. This site does not give any information about his life or accomplishments made. This site simply gives quotes that were made by him throughout his life that have stuck with people today. It is very neat to read some of the things he had said. Some companies even got their saying from Roosevelt. Read them you might find them interesting.

5. www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/people/i_r/roosevelt.htm
This website is great for my essay about Theodore Roosevelt. It had some other information that was more important to my paper compared to other sites. This overview of his life gave more of a connection to him and the West. It tells about his contribution to the West and the people that lived there. This site gave more information than just him as President of the United States. This site will be a big source for my essay.
