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.

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

According to our texts and lectures, a good argument must be valid and strong, with evidence or premises, and a conclusion. The premises must be true and of quality, supported by reasoning or evidence of some sort. The premises must also logically support the conclusion or there would be no argument. The goal of an argument is to convince the reader to believe in something and to demonstrate that with careful reasoning and consideration, the writer 's point of view is legitimate. The key approaches of reasoning in an argument are persuasion tactics called logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos is the use of logic to persuade the reader with statements containing rational principles. Facts, such as statistics, or anything that can be proven is an appeal to logos. Ethos is a plan of action using ethics which help define credibility, reliability, and character through direct knowledge and/or experience in the situation at hand. Ethos is used by writers to build trust and to demonstrate their qualifications for the statements they make. Pathos is used to connect with the reader on an emotional level using tragedy, sadness, pity, and other sentimental specifics the reader can relate to. All three of these Greek artistic proofs are used in the readings of “Out Of Body Image,” by an assistant professor of politics at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Caroline Heldman, whom focuses her work on issues of gender and race, and “X-Large Boys,” by Allisa Quart, who is a graduate of Columbia

She relies on using pathos, because she knows that if she reaches out to the audience's heart that she will be able to persuade them easier.

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

Lastly, Pathos is the appeal to emotion. Pathos will use the emotion the persuader is appealing to and exploit that to convince the audience of their point of view. Pathos has been used heavily in politics recently, mostly appealing to the people’s emotion of anger and embarrassment in congress to persuade the audience that the opposing party is the one to vote for. The assumption of common sense is also used in pathos. In order to appeal to one’s emotions, the audience must share the same knowledge you’re basing your argument off
Pathos can be defined as an appeal to an emotion of the audience, and is ubiquitous within the game. From the second and third line of the story -if the hormones option is chosen- the mother asks, “how is that going for you” and “are you finding it hard to deal with the changes.” Those two simple lines invoke the reader's emotion, flashing them back to when they were young and their mother would ask them a plethora of questions every afternoon. Another potent use of pathos is available if the audience selects the therapist choice. In that option the mother simply states, “I started seeing a therapist. You’ve had lots of time to think about this, now I need to.” Those two simple sentences can tug on the heart of the audience by portraying the mother as sad and broken, but perhaps willing to try and understand her child’s decisions. By incorporating pathos into those two examples, and various others, Koppas is able to draw the audience into her story and persuade the reader to support her
