Pathos

Before her accident

     Remember when speaking in public to think of your audience. Keeping your audience interested is very important. You can use logos, ethos and pathos to do just that.
     Pathos in an argument is used to "tug on your heart strings" or evoke a feeling of pity or compassion.  The article I viewed  about Jacqueline Saburido is overwhelmed with pathos. This beautiful young women tragically fell victim to drunk driving; over 60% of her body is severely burned.  This article informs the public of the consequences of a "harmless" ride, which can destroy your entire life. The article contains few words  but these gruesome images make the claim that drunk driving can not only take away lives but annihilate lives.  This argument generates the emotion of extreme empathy or compassion for Ms. Saburido.  Those emotions combined with those pictures should persuade people never even consider drinking and driving as an option. To also be an   advocate against drunk driving.
