NOTES
Title from title frames
Revisit Aristotle to master the craft of pathos—being able to express empathy for the subject of any essay. Learn how to elicit emotions from your readers while remaining authentic and not manipulative, clichéd, or contrived. Reflect on honest and moving uses of language from Maxine Hong Kingston and Barack Obama, who once perfectly summed up the importance of pathos in a speech by saying, “Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world[.]”
