...reader or listener will react. Words can influence ones feelings both favorably and unfavorably. During the heart ache and confusion such as December 7, 1941, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the attacks of September 11, 2001, two of the nation’s presidents sent out words of sympathy and encouragement in their speeches, in reassurance that the horrible acts that took place would not be tolerated. The famous “Infamy” speech was given by Franklin Delano Roosevelt a day after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The speech is known by the popular line, “a date which will live in infamy” (Roosevelt). Roosevelt wanted to get an up rise out of the American people, he done this through Charged Language. The Speech was a persuasive piece that’s purpose was to gain a war declaration. Roosevelt combined facts with rhetorical technique to produce a strong argument to convince congressional representatives and the American people that military action should be taken in response to Japans attack. Connotation was also used throughout his speech. For example, “But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us” (Roosevelt). Through out the speech, Roosevelt made clear Japan had deceived the untied stated and could not be trusted. “ Yesterday, December 7, 19941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by navel and air forces of the Empire of Japan” (Roosevelt). Then Roosevelt later said, “It will...

...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...

...In the same year, Joseph Stalin was made dictator of the Soviet Union. In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, and the stage was officially set for the start of World War II. The United States was determined to avoid direct conflict, and as a result passed the Neutrality Act. The Neutrality Act prevented the US from aiding anyone in the war. Despite the United States’ effort to stay neutral the country was eventually provoked into war by Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. In July of 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt froze all Japanese assets in the United States in response to Japan occupying French Indo-China. Roosevelt’s embargo on oil, needed for weapons and everyday life, threatened to ground Japan’s entire army. According to History.com, “President Roosevelt swung into action by freezing all Japanese assets in America. The result: Japan lost access to three-fourths of its overseas trade and 88 percent of its imported oil” (History.com). Roosevelt also denied Japanese ships the right to use the Panama Canal. Without access to the Panama Canal the Japanese were forced to add approximately 7,900 miles onto the trade routes. Japan’s main goal was conquest, but the United States disapproved and forced Japan to...
