4- Roosevelt was a great believer in America as a “melting pot.” What is this theory? Do you think there is a great deal to it, something to it, or nothing to it? Why?
5- In one of Roosevelt’s speeches, he states
Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country. What do you think of this idea? Why? Suppose that, for some reason (perhaps political, perhaps economic), you decided to spend the rest of your life in, say, Argentina, or Germany, or Israel, or Nigeria. Do you think the government might reasonably require you to learn the national language? Support your response with reasons.

In the school auditorium, the Theodore Roosevelt statue is nostalgic 5for the Spanish-American War, each fist lonely for a saber, or the reins of anguish-eyed horses, or a podium to clatter with speeches glorying in the malaria of conquest. But now the Roosevelt school 10is pronounced Hernández. Puerto Rico has invaded Roosevelt with its army of Spanish-singing children in the hallways, brown children devouring 15the stockpiles of the cafeteria, children painting Taáno ancestors that leap naked across murals. Roosevelt is surrounded 20by all the faces he ever shoved in eugenic spite and cursed as mongrels, skin of one race, hair and cheekbones of another. Once Marines tramped from the newsreel of his imagination; 25now children plot to spray graffiti in parrot-brilliant colors across the Victorian mustache and monocle.
