I taught my partner the diagonal method on understanding Pathos. So just imagine that I drew a line across my paper with the following information:

PATHOS

---------[i.e. gun control]

-emotions can lead to ethical matters

- emotional appeals on several levels
------visual details
---------[think about advertising(assert, prevail, inquire)]
------words or phrases
---------[drugs]
---------[drug addict]

-ethos, logos and pathos as strategies
---------[assert]
---------[prevail]
---------[inquire]
---------[reconcile?]

-purpose of an emotional argument
