Theodore Roosevelt Story
Theodore Roosevelt and The River of Doubt
After losing a Presidential election in 1913 Theodore Roosevelt went on a needed trip to South America where his son Kermit lived. Once he gets there the Foreign minister tells Teddy about an uncharted river also know as the River of Doubt located in the Amazon Basin Brazilin Jungle. Roosevelt gathered up a group of men to go explore the uncharted river. His son also accompanies him on the journey.
Theodore and his men set out on their dangerous journey in the fall on 1913. They reached the Amazon Basin Brazilin Jungle in December of 1913. During their adventure down the river the men encountered many difficulties. They also join with Candido Rondon, Brazil's most famous explore. First Theodore cut his leg horribly by a boulder. The cut got highly infected. Shortly after he got a bad case of malaria and wished to take his life by over dosing with the drug morphine. Thankfully his son Kermit finds out and stops him. This all happen to poor Theodore during the first 6 weeks of the expedition.
Later on during their trip the men have not so friendly encounters with Indians. They were attacked many times by them. They also came across dangerous and deadly rapids. These rapids were 30ft long and there were 6 sets of them. Therefore Kermit is forced to use a series of ropes to lower the boats down the wild rapids. An starvation became a large problem for the group of men only growing worse as the trip wet on. Then while Roosevelt himself was still fighting malaria, his own son Kermit got the disease as well. And just when the group thought things couldn’t get any worse a man is killed in the group by one of their own among the regiments.
Finally the men reached home after the long grueling journey. All but three men survived the expedition thankfully. They had explored and mapped 1,000 miles along what use to be an uncharted river. The river was renamed Rio Roosevelt due to the fact that Theodore Roosevelt himself started the expedition and survived it under horrible circumstances.

Copyright
Hello! I’m doing some research on copyright for music and lyrics, here it is! When you write music you have copyrights upon your completion of the work these copyrights last up until 70 years after the composer’s death or a total of 95 years. Having a copyright means you own the exclusive rights to the composition also know as Intellectual Property. The current year for Public Domain in the United States is January 1st 2019. The difference between public domain and proof of public domain is, in public domain anyone can use your work and if you have proof of public domain anyone can use your work but they must cite or give you credit.
In order for you to better understand what I just told you. Here is a list of the rules for copyright music and lyrics.
• Students and teachers creating educational materials must follow the guidelines and site the source
• You can use up to 10% (no more than 1000 words)
• You can use up to 250 words of an entire poem
• You may not use more the 3 poems or portions of a poem by one poet
• You may use a signal photograph
• You may not use more than 5 images by a signal artist
• In plays, movies or TV shows you can’t use more than 10%
• For music you can only use 30 seconds
One famous case on music or lyric copyrights you may or may not know of is Vanilla Ice vs. Queen& Bowie. The song “Ice Ice baby” by Vanilla Ice has some of the same rhythm of the baseline as the song “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie’s. Vanilla thought by changing the baseline rhythm he could avoid questions about crediting Queen& Bowie. Although the case never made it to court it was clear the Vanilla stole the sample without permission. The group of artists settled out of court for an undisclosed but probably high amount on Vanilla Ice’s part.
