    Throughout his speech, Franklin Delano Roosevelt utilizes powerful rhetorical devices to draw his audience in. The quote that united the audience with both Roosevelt and each other, however, contained a combination of pathos, anaphora, and most importantly he uses personal pronouns to pull the crowd together as one. As he begins to draw his speech to a close, Roosevelt states, “our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger” (par. 16).
