Chapter 4 "Pathos"

The third type of argument, is Pathos. It is the type of argument that appeals to the senses and emotions of the audience. The book says on page 75, that the "pathos appeals more specifically to an audience's imaginative sympathies-their capacity to feel and see what the writer feels and sees." The pathos arguments affect the readers emotionally, which makes them care more, and want to argue more. When you can affect people emotionally, it makes them become the most passionate. I think it's the most effective type of argument because it will get the most and the greatest reactions. The emotional part of the argument makes it personal and a lot of people care a lot more when it affects them personally. I know that this type of argument is the one that gets me into the most heated arguments, and the other kinds don't affect me as much.
