Ethos In Weston

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 author creates pathos by exposing the reader to whom and how conditions impact families and youth. Duffield writes:

The Pathos appeal uses an individual’s story to paint a picture of what is happening in the readers head. Pathos supports the authors reading by the author showing his emotions and the emotions of the other people in his French class through the article. A quote from David Sedaris’s article shows how he feels in the classroom setting and how it affected his life outside of the classroom. “My fear and discomfort crept beyond the borders of the classroom and accompanied me out onto the wide boulevards.” This quote explains how drastically the class and the teacher and internal affected his own being. How he shows his emotion in the writing gets the readers to feel his experience throughout the article through their own in their life. He also shows the emotions of the other people in his class to give the reader a viewpoint other than his. It shows that Sedaris is not the only person in that class that gets emotion abused and feels like an outsider. This gives the reader a visual of exactly what it feels like to be sitting inside of that French

Ethos refers to the trustworthiness or credibility of the writer or speaker, it’s conveyed through the tone and style of the message, through the writer. Pathos is the emotional side of persuading the reader through emotions. An example of ethos is where the author tells the reader that she will be doing some old fashion journalism and putting herself through the experience of what it feels like to be a blue collar worker. Pathos is also seen in the book, on page 214, as stated earlier in the paper where it talks about how the blue-collar workers work and live. The examples that she gives about how they try to survive. The paragraph is using real life examples and it tries to make us feel sort of emotion towards the workers. Logos is also used, she provides footnotes at the end of a few pages and it gives further explanations about the certain

pathos is very effective overall, it gives the reader the ability to relate to the hardship Rodriquez must endure every day. These examples are not always obvious though, small subtle uses of pathos can be just as effective, for example when Rodriguez says, “I am alone in my brown study,” even though very short, this quote evokes pity and a desire to be with Rodriguez from the reader (38). Pathos does not have to be short to be effective, when Rodriguez first describes seeing snow he says, “The light queered. The sky turned “gunmetal gray” as in books. My mouth opened. Only then, snow.” This quote is significantly longer than the first, yet it still provokes the reader's emotions (147). One feels the innocence Rodriguez displays at the new sight, similar to that of a child, and can't help but to smile. This quote gives the reader joy as they are provided with the opportunity to experience snow all over again. Both quotes, though very different, create emotional responses in the reader and help to further arguments Rodriguez makes throughout the book. Rodriguez’s appeals to pathos prove to be very effective, but work even better when paired with Rodriguez’s almost messy writing

Janine Zuniga brings to light many details from the horrific tragedy at a San Ysidro Mcdonald's in the mid-80's. The author uses various appeals in their work, but the one that stands out the most is without a doubt pathos. This was such a devastating tragedy that it only makes sense for pathos to be the main appeal of this essay. From the chilling memories that are embedded in the minds of the survivors, to the broken hearts of those that lost family and loved ones, there is an abundance of emotion being poured out of these witnesses.

With Hasselstroms pathos writing she uses dramatic word choice and heartfelt analogies that drive home the idea of how wrong these situations, that happen too often, are. Hasselstrom opens with explaining how where she lives “is often too exposed to offer hiding places” (354) to show how she, and others have to hide to stay safe and there's just no room for that. By opening with her setting it gives a sense of humanity to Hasselstroms writing that makes her seem more like the average folk and easier to connect to and relate to. Also, connecting the childish anecdote of “hiding places” with a strong connotation of being attacked, her play on words helps the reader fully divulge themselves into this piece of writing. Hasselstrom continues to explain that after she got her gun that “the pistol just changed the balance of power” creating wonderful imagery of the tables being turned and Hasselstrom finally feeling safe in her own town, home and shoes. This further relates to pathos in her writing in the sense that everyone can clearly paint the picture in their minds of the power only being shifted when a deadly weapon is in place. Hasselstrom concludes her passage and her pathos with saying, “the pacifist inside me will be saddened if the only way women can achieve equality is by carrying weapons” (358). With this comment not only is Hasselstrom pointing out her personal views, gaining wide support, she is also pointing out her own controversy relating this subject to every person to gain full coverage and support. By doing this, she continues to strive using pathos to grasp the heartstrings of every person who believes in a world where equality is actually

In the story the author portrays the protagonist differently from the other characters because she talks about the physical appearance of other characters and when it comes to the narrator we have no idea what she looks like but she is developed partially through her relationship with other characters, although we the readers do come the find out that the narrator is around the age of 15-17 years old and we can assume that she has a bad relationship with her parents because first of all she talks about them maybe once or twice in the whole story and second of all we know that they sent her to boarding school so that alone proves that her relationship with them is lacking. As readers we also know that she has trouble opening up in the story she say “To open your heart. You open your legs but can’t, or don’t dare anyone, to open your heart” (237). This is a prime example of how author characterizes the protagonist as broken and emotionally damaged.
