Answer:
"The Man in the Arena"
The title of the real speech was "Citizenship In A Republic."
Explanation:
"Citizenship In A Republic" was a speech presented by Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne, in Paris, France on April 23, 1910.
I decided to pick this text because of the title in this assignment. "The Man in the Arena" as a title evokes some emotions. Ordinarily, without reading the main speech, it shows that somebody is urging somebody to rise up to the occasion and remain faithful. It looks as if Theodore Roosevelt was given a particular title topic to deliver his speech on. But, he would have preferred an emotional title like "The Man in the Arena."
Going through his speech proper, you discover that he encouraged the men who were involved in building their French nation to continue to exert efforts, warning against benchwarming by those who comfortably sat on the fence.
Take a look at this. "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
