What is the claim of these The five paragraphs about the Pearl Harbor speech. 1 Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives:
2 Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
3 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.
4 Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American island of Oahu, the
Japanese ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to
a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing
diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.
5 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.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.

explanation:

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
