Heinrichs Pg/ 79-133

I absolutely hate flipping through the channels late at night, and coming across the commercials of the cats and dogs in animal shelters. The commercials show helpless animals in animal shelters with these sad looking face and music in the background that just makes your heart melt. These commercials use pathos to appeal to the emotions of its audience. They use the faces of innocent cats and dogs to get you to donate money to their organization to help these helpless animals. The commercials tell you that with just a certain amount everyday that you (the audience) can do a big difference in the lives of these precious creatures that do not have home. These commercials use pathos very seductively to gain your attention and the urge to want to donate and help.
