People in society generally tend to strive to be the best. Whether it be through wealth or intelligence, we seek to capitalize on what’s been given and make the best out of it. However, this state of wealth and intelligence can often have a significant impact on one’s character and attitude. For instance, in Maria Edgeworth’s 1801 novel Belinda, Clarence Hervey, one of the wealthy and intelligent suitors of the novel’s protagonist, Belinda Portman, is described by the narrator as a narcissistic, mercurial character who is also too worried about the flaws and shadows of others. Through the use of a unique point of view, as well as vivid diction and a critical tone, Edgeworth is able to portray the complexity of Clarence as a unstable man worthy of respect as well as hatred. The novel employs a unique third person narrative which is truly able to shed light upon the blatant characteristics of Clarence, but also generates a fog of ambiguity.
Within this passage of the novel, the narrator focuses on Clarence for its entirety. While the narrator does describe how Clarence may be respected for his wealth and intelligence, and even honors him, the attitude within the point of view is flipped with a resentful tone. For instance, the narrator is able to describe all of Clarence’s achievements, but begins the passage with a sarcastic attack on Clarence with “[He] might have been more than a pleasant young man, if he had not been smitten with the desire of being thought superior in everything.” We are able to see that in Clarence, he brings himself out enough to be respectable, but cannot garner the joy of others.

I'm not familiar with that text, but to help you out here are the definitions of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos.
Pathos is the emotional appeal to the reader. Many people get this confused with Ethos, a way I remember it is that Pathos sort of sounds like 'pathetic' which I somehow link to emotions, and can remember that Pathos means this. An example of Pathos would be describing a sick mother of a villain to earn the villain sympathy for the villain.
Ethos applies to ethics. Culture, religion, morals, ect. The author would use Ethos to show the reader culture, and to get them to sympathize or to plea with the character because of strong morals, religion, or culture.
Logos is logic. The author appeals through the reader using logical points, factual evidence, among other things.
So, after reading the text, what do you think the author uses to appeal to his readers? The title certainly appeals to Pathos, by using the word 'father' and 'plea' the author is directly channeling fear from the reader, and sympathy for them because the father is pleading for something. Because they used the word 'father' this may mean that he is pleading for his children, or maybe for his tribe. However, by using the word 'Indian' it also inflicts Ethos, because it directly links to culture and appeals to the reader because of this.
Answer:
It was a beautiful autumn day. The trees whispered in a crisp, cool breeze, their gold and red leaves on display. The river babbled nonstop, gushing by at a somewhat alarming rate. The still scent of early snow hung threateningly in the air. In the midst of it all, one of the smallest mammals found herself panicking in a rush to find food before a heavy layer of snow blanketed the ground tonight. The fluffy-tailed, brown-coated squirrel frantically clawed up clumps of dirt, rooting through the thick undergrowth. She had searched nearly half the area around her home, when suddenly...a snowflake landed on her nose. She cried out in dismay, sobbing as she desperately tore up the ground. Seconds passed. Minutes. Hours. The moon had awoken from its deep slumber, winking at the world as clouds passed over it. Her paws had grown numb and she could barely see past her own nose, the snow falling quicker and quicker around her. It showed the promise of a blizzard. A starving wolf howled in the distance, wondering where all the deer went. The squirrel paid him no mind, attempting to retrace her tracks back to her home. She didn't hear the pounding paws rushing toward her, muffled by the flurrying snow. She didn't notice the shadow suddenly blanketing her. She didn't notice the icy breath freezing in the air around her.
And it was too late.
