The persuasive appeal of pathos is an appeal to an audiences sense of identity and emotions. Pathos is the rhetoric style that is evident in the illustration that I chose. The picture shows a student walking to his class, which is titled” Remedial Reading of Rights”. The picture can be interpreted several different ways. The picture makes you assume that the child is either low functioning in Reading or maybe in special education classes. Hr appears to be late and hesitant to enter the room. Since e sign says “Remedial Reading of Right”, we assume that his reading level is also very low. As a special education teacher, this picture can be disturbing or cause great emotion. We as the reader understand and realize how the character is feeling. In this illustration, the character appears to feel a sense of fear and shame.
