How do they use Pathos?
Anzaldúa uses pathos to make the audience feel an emotion and have the opportunity to connect. She uses pathos throughout her book to express the events that will cause emotion. "An image is a bridge between evoked emotion and conscious knowledge; words that are the cables that hold up the bridge. Images are more direct, more immediate than words, and closer to the unconscious. Picture language precedes thinking in words, the metaphorical mind precedes analytical consciousness" (Anzaldúa 91.)
Davis developed pathos by writing about the events that took place during the period when she was growing up and was evolved in her life and her work. She adds her personal experiences to bring suspense to her book and make the audience feel an emotion. "Less than two weeks later, after I had returned from New Jersey as a high school senior, my mother called with devastating news: two close friends had perished in the 1962 Birmingham Sunday School bombing at the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, an attack carried out white supremacists to terrorized the civil rights movement" (Davis 8).
