Pathos is a Greek word that means suffering or experience. Pathos is a word that brings pity or sadness that represents an appeal to the audience's emotions.

Pathos is the writers attempt to appeal to the audience emotions. For instance, “In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. ‘“I’m a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me,”’ the headline said” (Lukianoff and Haidt). The authors appeal to emotion paints a picture in the reader’s mind, further opening their eyes to make them feel how the professor was feeling. Also, naming the article “The Coddling of the American Mind” was a great was to represent how the problem was being addressed. The use of the word “coddling” reflected the way colleges were treating their students like babies. Enforcing trigger warnings to protect the students are not helping them for the future. This appeals to pathos because the audience gets a glimpse of what the after effect of “babying” has on

Pathos is used in order to link the essay with the reader’s emotions and ethos is used to show the writers moral character. For example, pathos is used when Kozol speaks to a student of a Bronx high school, “Think of it this way,” said a sixteen-year-old girl. “If people in New York woke up one day and learned that we were gone…how would they feel?...I think they’d be relieved.” (Kozol 205) This part of the essay really made me feel sad for this girl who lives in a society where she has grown up feeling like now one cares about her or others of her race.

Ray Bradbury used pathos quite a bit. It appeared right from the start, as one night Guy Montag comes home to Mildred, his wife, overdosed on sleeping pills. He calls EMS and they come to pump her stomach. In the morning she wakes up and acts like nothing even happened. Guy tries to bring her to reality and make her realize what she did the night before. All she wants to do is pretend it didn’t happen. Mildred tried to kill herself and all she wants is for it to not have happened. She seems so heartless to leave her husband and not even care enough to explain herself. Ray Bradbury did this to show just how oblivious society had become. He wanted to show how silly it all was.

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.

By appealing to pathos, readers have mixed feelings of pride but also remorse. After several years of being part of a drug operation, the other Wes got upgraded to a higher status, “The drug game had its own rules, its own structure. He was a lieutenant, the leader of his small crew. Everyone in the crew had a specific job with carefully delineated responsibilities” (Moore 111). Surprisingly, the drug field is very structured and there are several important ranks and positions within it. Wes is now in a much higher position of authority. Despite being a part of a strong support system, Wes is using his power to distribute drugs. Everyone he was surrounded with did the same, so he was compelled to do it too. This reveals that you are most likely to follow the footsteps of the people around you, despite the fact you may end up leading yourself down the wrong path. This moment is an example of an appeal to pathos because it makes readers feel sorrow because even though Wes has gained notoriety and importance, he is still turning his life upside down. Readers feel conflicting thoughts because you want to be able to help Wes and guide him down a better path, but you can’t. Readers may realize they must alter the path they are going down too. The author faces a similar, but slightly different change in position. After several years of

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

In paragraph two Brady writes,”Why do I want a wife?”(Brady 229), she writes this not as a serious statement, but as a sarcastic one.

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. He also tries to get people to feel bad so they know Tom isn’t guilty. This part was better in the movie because of how they put the camera on Atticus and his facial expressions changed. It really makes you start to feel bad that Tom is going through all of the
