"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacke

d by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

What is the main effect of the line Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us?

To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause
To imply citizens would soon view the attack differently
To remind legislators to act quickly while public sentiment was high
To suggest a way of viewing the events for those who were still uncommitted

To create outrage in listeners that would encourage them to rally to the cause

By saying that the American people will always remember Pearl Harbor, shows the enormity of the attack. It further emphasizes the catastrophic leveling of the Navy and Pearl Harbor. This then helps to create outrage and drives the listeners to want to seek revenge, to retaliate, to join in the war the US has so carefully been trying to stay out of.

Faber says he bears some responsibility for the dismal state of the world. What is the source of Faber’s guilt?
Basile [38]

https://www.gradesaver.com/fahrenheit-451/q-and-a/5-faber-says-he-bears-some-responsibility-for-the-dismal-state-of-the-world-what-is-the-source-of-fabers-guilt-do-you-share-his-opinion-or-think-that-hes-being-too-hard-on-himself-367101


the answer


if you can't see it the answer is

I believe that Faber's guilt stems from his cowardice. It is very easy to see that he is not brave, such as when Montag has to convince him to go to his printer friend and when he gives Montag the earpiece so that he is with him without actually being there. While he is one of the few intellectuals left in their society, I don't believe that he had much in the way of responsibility because they were fighting a losing battle. Even if he had done more, it ultimately would have done nothing because the minds of the mass would not have been swayed by one more mere voice.

Thus, his guilt stems from his inability to act, but he is being too hard on himself as there is only so much that one person can do, especially facing the odds that he did.

How is tone related to the point of view of a story?
Lelu [443]

This is the complete qestion

The tone related to the point of view of a story is The tone of a story tells who is telling a story. Thus, option "D" is correct.

<h3>What is the point of view?</h3>

The point of view is illustrated as the perspective or lenses through which the author reveals the narrative and the audience perceives a particular text. Out of varied point-of-views employed by the authors, 'first-person subjective' is one of them that discloses or unfolds the story through the author's memory and therefore, narrated as it occurred without any alteration.

Thus, option "D" is correct.
