Answer:
The Theme is confusing because julian does not know how to act when he see's his mom and another woman with the same hat.
Explanation:
Both Julian and his mother rely heavily on appearances to separate and elevate themselves from the rest of society. Julian’s mother, for example, hopes that her public demeanor and clothing will hide the fact that she no longer has any of her family’s former wealth. In turn, she judges others on their appearance, including blacks, whom she automatically considers inferior. She looks down on the African American man on the bus who wears a suit, even though he is better dressed than Julian, and still places herself above the large black woman on board, even though she realizes that they wear the same hideous hat. Ironically, Julian relies on appearances to quickly judge others around him too, even though he criticizes his mother for this same shortcoming.

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.
