Emotions In The Book 'In Their Small Mud Hut' By Katie

The ultimate goal of pathos is to emotionally impact the readers in a way that leaves the stories ever-present in their minds for months or even years to come. Pathos is conveyed through the depictions of hardship, poverty, and loneliness faced by Suitcase Lady and multiple characters in ‘Of Mice and Men’. From broken dreams and complete isolation to extreme poverty, the characters are able to connect with the audience through feelings of sadness and pity. Isolation, delusion, and poverty are the traits of characters that are key to evoking emotional and sorrowful reactions from the readers.

The authors use of pathos in the essay is well planned and is used effectively. The see proof, the reader would have to look no further than the title of the essay: The Logic of Stupid Poor People. The word ‘stupid’ can be seen as a strong word towards someone or a group of people which stirs up emotion into some readers before they even start reading. It grabs interests and makes people want to hear what she has to say. When the author recalls of her past of being raised in a poor family, the author could also be using her stories to make the reader feel sympathy for her and understand the pressure that poor people are put under for them to be able to be considered for certain benefits and help in general. Another example of the author trying to appeal to the readers emotional side was how she concludes the essay with disregarding and opinions others have about the choice of poor people if they were not poor themselves. She states, “You have no idea what you would do if

Chief Joseph’s speech predominately employs statements of pathos to convey his message. To use the appeal of pathos means to evoke the audience’s emotions. Chief Joseph begins to gain pity from the readers by saying, “The little children are freezing to death.” In their voyage, they are left with limited supplies, which explains why the children are freezing. This is a example of pathos because for most readers, it is sad to think about small children freezing to death. He draws you in, by speaking to your emotions. Chief Joseph then talks about the members of the tribe who have fled away without any any supplies. “ My people, some of them, have run away to the hills and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are— perhaps freezing to death.” This quote is very similar to

In the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, Walls uses pathos to make her point. Pathos is a rhetorical device that appeals to your emotions. “When other girls came in and threw away their lunch bags in the the garbage pails, I’s go retrieve them. I couldn’t get over the way kids tossed out all this perfectly good food: apples, hard-boiled eggs, packages of peanut-butter crackers, sliced pickles, half-pint cartons of milk, cheese sandwiches with just one bite taken out because the kid didn’t like the pimentos in cheese,” (Walls 173). Walls uses this device frequently in her book to appeal to the reader’s emotions when she talks about her family or her personal experiences. This quote shows how everyday, Walls constantly had to scavenge for food. This tugs at your heart because you couldn’t imagine

From her tone to her stories, Ms. Ngozi Adichie effectively uses Pathos to convince her audience to act on her point. Her examples of how people misjudged her and her country’s people due to a lack of multiple points of view on their part and how she has personally been affected by the problem leaves the audience with a burst of emotions that leaves them more likely to understand her problem. When she tells her audience of the contrasting stories of excellence and tragedy that the people of Nigeria experience, it helps the audience to better emotionally understand the consequences for both parties of falling for the single story.

Chief Joseph successfully utilizes pathos in the sense of him making the audience feel awful for what him and tribe has had to go through. He talks about the most vulnerable people, children, saying, “The little children are freezing to death.” He knows that the children ran away from all of the adults that were older than them, or at least the ones still alive and knew that they probably would not live since it was freezing outside and there was no food or shelter. It makes the reader sympathize with Chief Joseph and share his sorrow. Chief knows that the little children are freezing and starving to death. He says, “ My heart is sick and sad”, Chief’s heart is aching for all of what he has seen and been through. This helps describe his emotions, by telling us how he

Pathos: Adichie’s also displays strongly her emotions as she shares multiple stories with her audience like the story of the helper who was a little boy with a very poor family and had nothing. She also utilizes humor to make her point on the essence of stereotyping by telling the story of her room-mate who felt pity for her before even seeing her, just because she was African. Since the speech is mostly a narration from her life, Adichie includes emotions as she talks so that the audience gets to feel what she feels.

In the book, Gaby Rodriguez uses pathos to get the reader's attention. In the book Rodriguez stated, “ We don’t win this battle by finger pointing and gossiping. We win by education, talking and lifting each other up. We win it by being decent to one another.” (Rodriguez 127). Rodriguez showed emotion to link back to show readers their own inner strength. The quote states that life is not about how others are, but if you respect others and make appropriate comments that will make people happy and lift them up. The strategy used is emotion. Emotions come in by the emotions Rodriguez faced during her fake pregnancy. During her time of being “pregnant”, Rodriguez faced a lot of bullying, but she always stayed strong, and knew her own inner strength. Another emotion was also used in “The Pregnancy Project”. According to Rodriguez, “No one had ever presented their boards speech in front of the whole school before, but the teacher thought it could impact someone's life” (Rodriguez 148). Rodriguez showed the readers that a presentation or an experiment that a person makes, can help someone feel like they are important, and for them to feel their own inner strength. The strategy she used is pathos. Pathos is shown by having stories of your own and telling someone about their process and how it impacted their lives, and

Pathos is used very effectively in Seth Davis’s article. By using pathos he is helping to expose the purpose of the article in a way that you wouldn’t think of before. Davis states “As the father of three children under the age of eight, I can only pray that someone “exploits” my sons someday

The author uses pathos very frequently throughout the text to get her point across to the audience. In the text, Helen Keller mentions that, “For New York is great because of the open hand with which it responds to the needs of the weak and poor.” This quote demonstrates Keller's point that people in New York are a champion in helping so people of New York should want to give and help the needy, which carries an emotional appeal. In addition, Helen Keller says that, “The men and women for whom I speak are poor and weak in that they lack one of the chief weapons with which the human being fights his battle. But they must not on that account be sent to the rear. Much less must they be pensioned like disabled soldiers.” This also carries a very emotional point because she uses a metaphor

Wiesel expertly uses pathos to make the reader feel guilt and remorse for a child during a hanging, “But the third rope was still moving; being so light, the child was still alive. . . . For more than half an hour he stayed there, struggling between life and death, dying in slow agony under our eyes… That night the soup tasted of corpses.” (Wiesel 62). This is such a skillful example of pathos because it uses something that everyone can relate to, a child, which can also be a symbol of innocence and purity.

For example, on page 5, the audience can tell the population of iran is split between wanting to make wearing the veil required and those who are opposed to the idea. Marjane demonstrates the emotions of the characters through the pictures in this example. She also uses pathos through speech bubbles to get her messages across. On page 6, when Marjane tells her grandmother that she won't feel pain anymore because she will become a prophet. These words show sympathy for older people and how

Pathos is a quality that evokes pity or sadness on an actual life experience or literature. Chavez uses pathos in order to appeal to the audience’s emotions, values, assumption and sense of identity. It is an expression of hatred and darkness in the world of literature. For example, Chavez applies this concept of Pathos to the audience when he states, “The fast was meant as a call to sacrifice for justice and as a reminder of how much suffering there is among farm workers.” This assertion appealed to intended audience because it symbolize moral and spiritual uniqueness. Chavez was a devoted catholic who took priority in helping humanity. He wanted the audience to learn about their human rights and worked diligently to humanize them from

Mr. Berger uses Pathos close to the beginning of his essay to get the attention of his audience. To get an emotion started that would make anyone want to know and read further. Where he writes “In this respect, images are more precise and richer than literature.” (121) For anyone who may be passionate about literature may disagree, it would cause an emotion. An emotion that would cause someone to want a better understanding. He is using this strategy to get the audience interested, engaged, and to be able to have an emotional tie to the subject. He explains how images have been around to make up for what was absent. Words are words and mean what we read from them. Anyone can read a book explaining how life was in the past, and an image can give a different story.

The narrator tells us, “Theirs is no vapid, irresponsible happiness. They know that they, like the child, are not free” (253). They now deal with the enormous responsibility of guilt that is placed upon each of them. They are no longer “naïve and happy children -though their children were, in fact, happy” (250). Their happiness is a forced façade in the face of looming guilt that many choose to live with. Once the resident comes of age, they lose their child-like happiness and replace it with a much more sobering truth. The life they are living can almost be defined as sadistic. Because of this life, they live in
