Pathos is shown in these two quotes from the ad “I want to make sure the country we leave them is a nation that we are proud of”, My mother was born and raised in New York City she died at the age of 46.

Another way Clinton uses pathos is when he tries to comfort the people who have lost loved ones by saying, “You have lost too much, but you have not lost everything.” Clinton lets the audience know that they have people that will help them through this hard time and they have the nation behind them: “You have certainly not lost America, for we will stand with you for as many tomorrows as it takes.” Clinton ultimately reaches his goal of comforting his audience by using ethos and pathos strategies throughout his speech.

Since 1952, television has played a major role in presidential elections. Television allows candidates to reach a broad number of people, and personalities, to help push along their campaigns. Campaigns help the candidates just as much as the voters. The candidates get to be identified, and known to the voters, and the voters get to hear and see how a specific candidate identifies with their needs and wants. The best way to get this information out there is through the most used form of media, television.
Pathos: This ad also uses emotion to persuade the viewer to vote for Hillary. A dad tells the story of his son giving up his life to save others. At the end of the video, the dad asks if his son would have had a place in Trump’s America if his son was still alive because his son
Pathos is an appeal to the emotion of an audience (Gross & Walzer, 2000). Through the use of compositional techniques, such as simile and metaphor, or even tone, the speaker attempts to solicited an emotional reaction from the audience. In the case of Keith’s pro-vaccination argument, in one paragraph there is a visual form of pathos utilized. In boldfaced type Keith states,“Vaccines are different from every other parenting issue in that the choices that parents make affect everyone else as well. Vaccines are everyone's business” (para. 12).
Pathos is using emotional appeal to convince your audience. In the opening sentence of the speech we see Pathos being used "Comrades, men of the Red Army and Red Navy" the sentence uses the word "Comrades" to refer to the people in order to invoke a sense of unity and familiarity amongst the people.

It is very common among the United States’ political sphere to rely heavily on T.V. commercials during election season; this is after all the most effective way to spread a message to millions of voters in order to gain their support. The presidential election of 2008 was not the exception; candidates and interest groups spent 2.6 billion dollars on advertising that year from which 2 billion were used exclusively for broadcast television (Seelye 2008.) Although the effectiveness of these advertisements is relatively small compared to the money spent on them (Liasson 2012), it is important for American voters to think critically about the information and arguments presented by these ads. An analysis of the rhetoric in four of the political
President Bush uses many pathos, which is the persuasion through emotion, throughout his speech to prove his point. President Bush calls out the victims of 9/11 who were “moms and dads” (Bush 1) and “friends and neighbors” (Bush 1). This is a persuasion through pathos because President Bush emphasizes the importance of these victims’ lives to other people. President Bush uses these names to influence his viewers to understand that many people loss very important people who cannot be replaced by any means. President Bush uses pathos again when he paints an image in our head of “airplanes flying into buildings [and] huge buildings collapsing” (Bush 1), which has “filled [this country] with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger” (Bush 1). This is pathos because Bush tries to influence the feeling of those who was not there and to help them understand.

Chisholm uses pathos to show her feelings about the children. In his Vietnam speech, Martin Luther King Jr. states, “We have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have destroyed their land and their crops. We have cooperated in the crushing of the nation’s only non communist revolutionary political force, the unified Buddhist Church. We have supported the enemies of the peasants of Saigon. We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men” (156). King uses pathos so that the readers agree with his opinions on the Vietnam War. In “Let America be America Again” by Langston Hughes, he calls himself the farmer, the worker, the negro, and the people (1). Hughes wants people to realize how unfortunate he is and he wants people to sympathize with his feelings. Pathos triggers the reader’s emotions. They begin to sympathize with whoever is displaying their feelings. Authors may use this device to help the readers see the situation in their point of

In the realm of political advertising, there are two main categories of ads, positive and negative (Brader 2006). These categorizations usually relate to their intended purpose or emotions that are evoked. Positive ads, as the title suggests, evoke positive emotions like hope or enthusiasm (Brader 2006). While negative ads promote negative emotions, like fear, anger or anxiety. Evoking these emotions from voters are a key strategy to manipulating voters into a desired behavior. Sometimes the goal is to interest voters in campaigns or to gain votes. Positive ads typically focus on the own candidates campaign while negative campaigns usually focus on the opponent (Brader 2006). In a study by Khan (1993), it was found that 65% of ads are candidate oriented while 35% are negative and opponent oriented. When negative ads focus on the opponent, they
