Read this excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Day of Infamy” speech, which he delivered in 1941 after Japan attacked the US na

val base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Roosevelt addresses Congress and the American people. Which sentence indicates the occasion? Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday and today 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. But always will our nation 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 that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding 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 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese empire.

Determine the main idea
Dmitry [639]

<em>Determine the main idea</em>

<em>The main idea is: Flying in a plane is a good opportunity for people to learn about the geological features of the earth below them.</em>

  • <em>This sentence is the primary point that wants to be communicated in the text. The topic is “learning about geological features”, and “flying in a plane offers a great opportunity to learn geological features” is the concept that the writer uses to convey the topic. The first three lines are used by the writer, to smoothly introduce the main idea. The first three lines take us to the main idea through an anecdote, which helps us in arriving to the topic in a familiar tone. The rest of the sentences after the main idea, help us in understanding what comes after that experience, this is how the writer took advantage of his realization.</em>
