Roosevelt used repetition in his Pearl Harbor Address in order to emphasize the threat posed by Japan. By repeating the words "Last night Japanese forces attacked..." several times, he was trying to intensify and stress the gravity and severity of the threat posed by Japan, so Congress would make the declaration of war and the American people would endorse such declaration.

A whole great a city is in imminent danger,

an enemy has come to too strong to fight.

The walls cannot contain the powerful anger

A sovereingn claims his love from far wide.

The lands and seas he´s crossed to recover

are left with with marks with anger and pain.

The most beautiful , precious treasure of a lady

has chosen the love of a young handsome prince.

His fortress protects her and welcome her beauty

his men fear not the power of revenge,

they prepare for war defending their place.

The young are well armed and have strong desires

To show their hospitality but also their pride.

They have the best city king and their Paris,

romantic and spoilt yet the town understands.

A woman is no object, no trophy means no price

The urge to defend her defends every one

Troy stands strong, almighty, well built

Cannot think of a war, assault or ill will.

Hektor, a hero , good father ,a man

not able to let the whole incident die

confronts with Achyless to find his own end

Forshadows the end of the city in pain.

Love has altered peace,calmness and ease

The winds of war to defend love are mean

The Horse is a malady and breaks so severe.

Whilst she was still getting acquainted with her cousins Prince Charlie walks in shakes her up a little with what she considered to be a "slight" wherein he referred to her as a "little thing". Prince Charlie laughs and makes amends as she objects and walks away.

<h3>After Prince Charlie walks away.</h3>

Soon after he left, Georgie and Will came at Rose, asking if she brought her monkey. They left upon her dissapointing reply. They both left after another question. Then Jamie who was earlier introduced as the Baby demanded to know if Rose brought anything nice. Her response: "Yes, lots of candy".
