Then everything abruptly changed when his master decided to sell him and threatened to kill him if he were to get out of his sight. This part of the text changed everything and may even sadden the reader because while reading this part of the text the reader, may think about being in Equianos shoes and how horrible that may be. Equianos needs to make the reader sympathize for him in order to make the reader realize the horrid conditions that he went through in his struggle through
One being pathos, which acts upon an individual's emotions and tends to evoke a sense of pity.

In the search for happiness, both Ginny Graves and Ruth Whippman present their own ideas and beliefs. I believe that Whippman is more persuasive compared to Ginny Graves through her use of arguments and evidence. This can be attributed to Whippman’s arguments being reinforced with evidence and her expertise on the matter. Firstly, the use of real-life examples and statistics by Whippman provides context for her arguments, thus strengthening them.

Sayeh Shahriari Mrs. Vermillion Ap language and composition 26 October, 2016 Oogy: the dog only a family could love Oogy was written by Larry Levin.

For example, in “Disarmed: the missing movement for gun control in America”, Harrison L. claims, “This thoughtful, well-documented book should be read and examined by would-be gun control activists and other advocates for social reform, as it illustrates the dilemma of government-that-is, as opposed to government-that-should-be”. Meaning the author clearly used pathos to express how wonderful the book is and how the book was for gun control. For instance, in the “Shootings reignite gun control debate in America”, The Evening Standard says, “the issue had taken a back seat since the September 11 terror attacks. President George Bush, who spent yesterday at the campus and ordered flags to be flown at half-mast throughout the nation”. Pathos is clearly shown in the statement above to convince readers of why gun control is needed because the author used a tragic and touchy subject for Americans, and readers will be able to relate back to the subject and feel sad about 9/11.
A good example of this is from paragraph seven: “I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it: a wife who makes sure that I am satisfied” (230). This type of example would serve to stir up some anger or outrage for what is being expected of women at the time making the reader delve deeper into their emotions. Next Brady uses the example of if she ever wanted to replace her current wife with another: “If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another… I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife will take the children and be solely responsible for them” (230). After reading this the reader would most likely feel quite upset at the thought of this happening to them; thus firmly connecting Brady to her readers through pathos. In her short essay, “Why I Want a Wife,” Brady uses pathos to connect and appeal to the reader’s emotions while explaining why she wants a wife.
Giovanni’s Room Love is a funny thing, it doesn’t always turn out the way we want it too and we can’t choose who we love. The main theme of James Baldwin’s story “Giovanni’s Room” is that love is difficult, scary, and not always what you expect. Although many people thrive on the love they feel for someone, David finds it to be a terrifying and confusing thing. In “Giovanni’s Room” David is reflecting on how he found love when he less expected it and was afraid, saddened, and even a little ashamed by it.

Clearly, the introduction of public education has had immense impact on American society. With it 's establishment historically, came a substantial accrual in the overall education level of the citizens of the United States. Recently, public education has become perceived as being the “standard” way to educate students. However, the history of public education is rather brief when compared with other education methods, there are numerous misconceptions regarding the quality of public education, and there are many detrimental effects on individuals and families, which are often overlooked in light of a handful of touted benefits.
One example of this in the reading was when he used this to describe the beauty and view of a horizon. He stated that so many people have come and go, limping on crutches or dieing, and were heroes from many wars. Then while stating the different wars, he uses this device to empathize the amount of people who came and went by listing the many wars with the conjunction or in between each one, such as, the Pacific or Europe or Korea or Vietnam or the Persian Gulf wars. A third use of a rhetorical device that I noticed throughout the reading was the author's use of euphemism. This is when the author substitutes a word for another that is more pleasant so that he or she does not come off as rude and can avoid conflict in with the readers of the story.
