Answer 2

An emotional appeal, otherwise called pathos, is one of the three persuasive modes in rhetoric, as analyzed by Aristotle (the other two being logos, an appeal through logic, and ethos, an appeal through ethics and values). Pathos in particular is the technique or mode through which a speaker evokes in the audience a feeling based on arguments founded upon emotions already residing in the audience.
