Why does roosevelt use repetition in his request for a declaration of war? to highlight his own credibility to provide alternative courses of action to compare the experiences of countries to emphasize the threat posed by japan

The correct answer is “to emphasize the threat posed by Japan”.

Indeed, one of the most striking features of this speech is the repetition of the term “attack”. It was used a total of 11 times during the whole speech and it inventories the list of attacks that Japanese forces had carried out or were carrying out before and during the speech.

Furthermore, the speech closes with the word “danger” used twice which together with the former word further emphasize the clear imminent danger that Imperial Japan posed to the United States and the rest of the world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
