<span>D. Pathos</span>
<span>
</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.
<span>"If strong ideas and actions offend you, read no more" helps the reader understand that a young woman in the historical context of the story, was not permitted to think or act in ways that could be considered "strong".
Certainly the other statements could lend you some ideas about the time period, for example the year, sailing on a ship as a means of travel, or being called a lady, but the idea that a young woman could not do the kinds of things that other people could do, tells that this will be a story that is different for girls. Charlotte's adventures on the ship were things that, normally in 1832, a girl would never have had a part in.</span>
Chasm-<span>a profound difference between people, viewpoints, feelings, etc.
Hope this helps!</span>
