In Class: About Pathos

The thing what i bring today is a poster from an Chinese movie. the movie name is earthquake in Tangshan. in the summer, i can see every movie theater have played on, and many people bring napkin when they are going to see this movie.

let me describe this big poster firstly. in the middle of this poster , there has a little kid stand lonely, just with his toy. why there is only himself , because he can not find his parents and friends. they are all died during the big earthquake. in the background there is all buildings destroyed.

  1. I thought your artifact for pathos was very appropriate. The imagery of the poster and the story behind definitely tugs at the heart strings, especially since it is a true story and not fiction. Anybody who sees a poster of a lonely little boy with his toy who is probably an orphan is going to automatically feel sad and compassionate, which is an appeal to pathos.
