...Rhetorical Analysis Essay This essay analyzes President Franklin D. Roosevelt's address to the United States Congress after the attack on Pearl Harbor. His speech can be found here. "December 7th, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked." Nearly every American knows who said the now-famous line and when it was delivered. On December 8th, 1941, one day after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the President of the United States, Franklin D Roosevelt spoke before a joint session of the US Congress, asking for a declaration of war against Japan. The address before Congress is regarded as one of the most important and renowned political speeches during the 20th century. The speech was perfect in accomplishing the goals Roosevelt wanted. In just over thirty minutes after the conclusion of the speech, Congress had declared war on Japan, with only one dissenting vote in the House. The country had been divided on entangling ourselves in the war in Europe and Asia, claiming it was not our concern. Immediately after the speech, the isolationist movement was silenced, even shifted to becoming pro-war. The speech was compelling because of strong emotional appeals, unrivaled organization, and the establishment of ethos. Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins his persuasion in the speech with powerful emotional appeals. In his opening, he says that the United States was "suddenly and deliberately attacked by the...

...Introduction “Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt, p.1). This was the opening statement of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s address to the nation the day after Japan invaded American territory. Following the Pearl Harbor attacks, Roosevelt gave a powerful speech that was a call to arms and in his speech he expressed outrage towards Japan and confidence in the job of our armed forces. The speech was a request to declare war against Japan and to bring the United States into World War II. His use of rhetorical techniques effectively aided in grasping the attention of his audience and reminded the...

...Pearl Harbor, the Beginning of the End of the Rising Sun As I flew in from the north of Oahu, the sunburst broke through the clouds off the horizon of the ocean in front of us. I couldn’t help to think to myself what a beautiful site for us to see. The gods must be looking upon us. Letting us know of a successful and glorious mission. It took all of about 2 hours to fly our 360 planes that consisted of dive and high level bombers, fighters and torpedo planes the 230 miles to the harbor of pearl. It was 8:05 when my bomb pierced its target. The bomb had hit the forward powder magazine of the USS Arizona. The mighty explosion split the great ship in half, taking only nine minutes for her to sink (A Summary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor, 2012). Now that we are out of the box looking in, this is what a Japanese pilot might have felt as he flew his plane on that haunting yet unforgettable mission to that bay at Pearl; for he was on his way of creating history from the destruction of an entire fleet in anchor. This Japanese warrior and his culture of war would not know the consequences of his emperor’s actions; for it would only unite an entire country in a fit of rage from this horrific and unprovoked act initiated by the rising sun nation of Japan. This battle would not only be the beginning of WWII for the United States, but it would be the beginning of the end of a military force in Japan. It was this mission and Japan’s cultural importance of war that...

...The Attack on Pearl Harbor There were many reasons leading to the attack at Pearl Harbor. One main reason for it was the economic issues (Anderson). The trade routes between America and Japan were cut off. The Japanese ships were not accepted in America either (Taylor 5), because of the two countries’ political differences (Taylor 6). On November 1, 1941 a ship came into the Honolulu Harbor. It had a Japanese flag on it. It was a forbidden Japanese ship. “The name of the ship was Taiyo Maru.”(Taylor 4) This ship was not welcomed with the original Hawaiian customs. Normally the hula girls would be out at the dock welcoming the passengers with their friendliness and dancing in their grass skirts. This was a way of saying “aloha,” which means both hello and also good-bye in the Hawaiian Islands. This ship carried a few important Japanese men. These men were actually Japanese spies (Taylor 6). One of these spies was a man named Otojiro Okuda. Okuda was one of the most important of Japanese spies. He had an agent. His agent was Kohichi Seki. Seki had to stay in Japan for a few months to train to become a spy for Japan. Seki was a key man in Okuda’s success as a spy. He helped him get the important information that was needed most by Okuda. Seki took a taxi to Pearl Harbor every day. He did this so he could get the names of the ships in port and the ships that were out and away from port. He wrote letters to Okuda which had this information he learned in it...

Darkness enveloped his low-rent room at the Des Moines Hampton Inn; the airport across the street was quiet in the hours before dawn. It was very late December 2007, a few days ahead of the Iowa caucuses. Obama had been sprinting flat out for president for nearly a year. Through all the nights he’d endured in cookie-cutter hotels during the months of uncertainty and angst —months of lagging by a mile in the national polls, his improbable bid for the White House written off by the Washington smart set, his self-confidence shaken by his uneven performance and the formidability of his archrival, Hillary Clinton—Obama always slept...
