</span>
<span>Pathos is a literary device
that is used to garner emotions of pity, sorrow, anger, or other passionate
feelings to the point where readers/listeners/audience members are persuaded
into acting or thinking in a way the author/speaker wishes. Thus, it is a persuasive literary device. That said, let’s look at a few phrases
from the excerpt that employ pathos by manner of describing scenes of injustice
and cruelty:</span>
“He has plundered our seas…destroyed
the lives of our people.”
“…to complete the works of
death, desolation, and tyranny...”
“…scarcely paralleled in the
most barbarous ages…”
From these lines alone, it can
be seen how readers might be compelled to view the one being described in the
light the author does because the emotions that might be invoked by
descriptions provided.
At the most basic level, the active voice emphasizes the person or agent who performs an action, in short, the “actor.” The passive voice emphasizes the recipient of the action or sometimes the action itself.

Citing textual evidence requires students to look back into the text for evidence to support an idea, answer a question or make a claim. Citing evidence requires students to think more deeply about the text, analyze the author, source etc. Students also practice finding strong evidence to support their ideas.
It is important to support your answers because using evidence discussion strengthens a person comprehension and confidence. When analyzing a text, it is important to provide these specifics to support your argument and give it legitimacy.
An example is if your little brother told you that the mall in your town was going to open up a petting zoo, would you believe him? What if he told you he read it on a sign at the mall? What if he told you specifically that he read about it on a sign to the left of the carousel which read ''Petting zoo coming in September''? The more specifics someone can provide when making a claim, the more they can support their argument.
