President Roosevelt's use of rhetorical tools such as syntax and diction create an optimistic, undaunted tone that captures the hearts of the people and congress of the United States of America. FDR reuses a similar sentence structure five times in order to get his point across to Americans and congress. Each time, he brings up events that add to each other, sizing up what all has happened. In describing the events that occurred, Roosevelt uses such words as "Dastardly," and "unprovoked" which stir up powerful, angry emotions among the listeners.
I feel this speech portrays and does what it needs to do to be effective.
