What the problem about the captuine is blurry
The correct answer is letter D: <span>a note from a traveler who had gone on the marked trail, telling them to take a different and safer route if they could.
The Donner Party was a group of American Pioneers who headed out to California and followed a different route by wagons. They ended up being stuck in the blizzard, resulting to the lost of their supplies and eventually into cannibalism. Along the trail they saw letters stuck in trees that they need to take a different and safer route in order for them to get where they are headed, but the group did not heed the message and still pursued their path which lead to their own demise.</span>
Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing his credability. Pathos is appealing to the reader by the author "pulling at the readers heart strings." This means he is illiciting emotions in the reader. Logos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing logic in his argument. These stratagies are used by all authors, not just historical fiction writers.
