Sagot :

Pathos

The term pathos is used to denote a particular reasoning style that involves gaining the emotional appeal of a writer's or speaker's audience so as to present his viewpoints or argument.

For example, this is evident when he said,

"We make friends by doing good to others, not by

receiving good from them."

"...we want to keep alive the gratitude of those who are in our debt by showing continued goodwill to them...."

With such heartfelt expressions, the writer seeks to gain the emotional appeal of the listening audience, hence it is rightly categorized as a good example of using pathos rhetorical appeal.
