As you know, when I finished The Scorch Trials, I started Eleanor Roosevelt. A few days ago, I finished Eleanor Roosevelt. In 1905, Eleanor and Franklin settled down in New York. The next year, they had their first child, Anna. They had four more children after that. James, Elliot Franklin Jr, and John. In 1910, Franklin began his work in politics. He ran for New York state senator and won. In 1921, Franklin got Polio. Franklin couldn't walk or talk. Eleanor wanted to help. She went places Franklin couldn't, and was asked to make speeches. She also wrote articles for newspapers, and fought for laws that would help others. When Franklin was president and the Great Depression started, Eleanor was his 'eyes and ears' as the book says it. People wrote to Eleanor about their problems and sometimes she received more that 30,000 letters a month. After Franklin died, and she was no longer the first lady, she still wanted to help. In 1945, President Truman asked her to join the US delegation to the United Nations.
Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing lady that everyone strives to be. She was a person who always believed that you could do anything you put your mind to. Eleanor was a lady who wanted to help everyone. From the poor to the working-class to her husband. She was a brave young lady who went through a lot from a young age to old and still went on to help people. She had 4 children and still worked hard to provide for them and help her husband with anything he needed. Eleanor Roosevelt is a good, strong woman who deserved to be remembered for the woman she was.
