In Class: Article Pathos

The artifact that I brought in is a Post Secret picture of a solider with a handwritten quote surrounding the solider.  The quote says, "I wish that my father could have been a soldier so that when people would ask why he was not there, I could tell them he died and not that he didn't care enough about me to be my dad." The picture and quote both contributes to pathos because the soldier is pointing his gun at something so it brings deep feelings of hate to the reader but also the quote is just so upsetting.  You can feel that authors pain described in this picture.  I found this picture on another blog site called "Post Secret."  This blog is full of pictures that use pathos to really send a message to the audience.  I however felt that for the post cards up during this past week, this was the one that best descried pathos to me.
