I found in the play “Leaving Home” that I could find the use of pathos in various spots. I noticed the definition “an expression or utterance that evokes sadness or sympathy, esp. in a work of literature; a description, passage, or scene of this nature” more than the others. In this text, I could really see the use of pathos being used by the emotionally-loaded language, the emotional examples, the figurative language, and the emotional tone. The actors had a lot going on in just the short time of the play.

Pathos is an emotional appeal in which the advertisers hope that the consumers will allow their claim. Say for instance most people will notice a puppy behind what looks like to be a rusty cage.

She uses the rhetorical device of pathos to make her claim seem more convincing and

An example of pathos that was used is where it says, “And so a quiet, respectful, humble Negro who had the unmitigated temerity to ‘feel sorry’ for a white woman has had to put his word against two white peoples.” I know that this quote is pathos because Atticus is trying to explain Tom so that he seems harmless by saying that he is quiet, humble, and respectful.
