Question

.Which sentence in this excerpt from Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech “What Libraries Mean to the Nation” is an example of the rhetorical strategy of pathos?

Answer 1

Answer: The sentence; "To help the whole community to learn to live through their minds."

Explanation: the rhetorical strategy of pathos is a mode in which the speaker makes an emotional connection with the audience to achieve his purpose to convince them. In the excerpt “What Libraries Mean to the Nation”, he conveyed the feelings he had when he went to a school and noticed that the books children used, were books that had passed from one child to another, and that there was a lack of them. In the sentence "To help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.", Roosevelt expresses that by making libraries, the people would learn to feed their minds, not only their bodies, making then empathy with the audience.
