The first week of April - Rhetoric week! I've chosen (i was made) to spend some time studying the art/science/history of speech and, what a surprise, I like it but have a fun lack of talent for it. Fortunately, I own a whole bucket of talent discovering what I'm good at doing things I'm bad at. This one literally screams: collect fun information, ignore the fact that it's for school, get a good grade.
The Day of Infamy Speech is considered one of the best (simple best) war speeches in the modern world rhetoric and endless fun. Recipe: add simplicity, two gallons of controlled emotions, unexpected injustice to a nation, world war in progress, governmental charm and no other choice.
