Pathos: The Most Emotional Rhetorical Appeal

Humans are filled with a variety of emotions. Whether it is sadness, happiness, fear, anger, surprise, or disgust--emotions change how we see the world and how we interpret the actions of others.
The use of emotions through rhetoric is what Aristotle called pathos.
For example, pretend someone said,
“Caring for the environment may not change your life, but it will change the lives of your children.”
This statement is attempting to appeal to people’s emotions--specifically their love for their children. Most people want what is best for their kids, and this statement caters to that desire.
Now listen to the following two statements, and guess which one is using pathos.
COVID-19 drove an additional 97 million people into extreme poverty in 2020, according to World Bank estimates.
The loss of Ana’s family business meant her family had to sell their cows and resort to living on 1 dollar a day. Her six-year old daughter often cries about how hungry she is.
While example one relies on ethos and logos, example two is more descriptive about extreme poverty and what it looks like. Example two humanizes the data. The description of a six-year old girl crying from hunger is sobering and sad. It is therefore an example of pathos.
Perhaps the most compelling way to elicit emotions in readers and listeners is through storytelling--or anecdotes. Short stories are a great way of motivating and persuading others. For example, If you were trying to persuade a friend to join the football team, you could tell a story about how you, too, were hesitant to join the team. But now that you have been lifting weights, you have become more confident. And now that you are part of a team, you feel more accepted at school. Personal examples or stories are great persuasive tools for stimulating emotions in listeners.
Now that you know more about pathos, here is your task.
Sell a classmate this piece of broccoli for 20 dollars. And be sure you integrate pathos into your argument. Good luck.
