  3. SOAPSTONE Julia Otranto

  4. Speaker • The speaker is Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the United States.

  5. After the dreadful attack, involving much destruction and many casualties, it was made apparent that Japan was no longer interested in continuing positive relation with the US. Soon after the attack, Japan sent a gram stating that “it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations”. OCCATION The occasion for which this speech is given encompasses the tragic event when Pearl Harbor was premeditatedly bombed by the Japanese empire. During peace preparations between America and Japan, an interruption was made by the Japanese, causing the preparations to come to a jarring halt.

  6. AUDIENCE • Franklin Roosevelt specifically addresses “Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate and of the House of Representatives” in his speech, although he is ultimately addressing all of the American people.

  7. PURPOSE The purpose of Roosevelt’s speech was to inform the nation of the tragic event that occurred at Perl Harbor and to inform that he had asked Congress to “declare that a state of war had existed”.

  8. SUBJECT • Roosevelt, while telling about the attack, reassures the people that we will fight back and we will be successful. The president also informs that the attack was sudden and America did not have clues to its occurrence.

  9. TONE President Roosevelt’s tone is serious, concerned and optimistic. Roosevelt expresses that December 7th 1941 is a “date which will live in infamy”. He also says that that with our armed forces and “determination of our people”, we would gain the “inevitable triumph”.

  10. Literary Devices Perl Harbor Address to the Nation

  11. ETHOS • Roosevelt uses ethos when he statuses himself as “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy”. He informs that he has he has directed “all measures be taken” for the defense of our nation.

  12. PATHOS • FDR appeals to the audience’s emotions through pathos. He makes us feel sympathy and sorrow for the lives lost, along with betrayal from being “deliberately” attacked by Japan.

  13. LOGOS • Roosevelt uses specific details that would prove that the attack was deliberate.

  14. ANAPHORA • FDR repeats “Last night” multiple times. In his speech he says “our people, our territory, and our interests.” Roosevelt also says “deliberately” multiple times.

  15. CONCLUSION • To conclude, I would like to point out the strength and confidence that Franklin Delano Roosevelt delivered his speech. Our country was about to enter war. Our lives were in danger at that very moment; but Roosevelt was able to step up, as a leader should, and present a very effective speech, giving confidence and reassurance to the people of our nation. • Thank You.
