  4. Pathos • Persuading by appealing to the reader’s emotions. (Emotional) • Ex:“There are few things more anxiety-inducing for parents than watching their children learn to drive– and for good reason.”

  5. Pathos ctd. • How might you use pathos to convince the school administrators to let you wear pajama pants to school?

  6. Ethos • Ethos means convincing by the character of the author. We tend to believe people whom we respect.
