In Class; Pathos

My object is a picture of my family hiking in the woods of New Hampshire on Lake Sunapee. This picture of my family reminds me of the great times we have together. I feel happy when I look at pictures of my family especailly because I am in Texas now, so far from them. Sometimes, when I miss my family, I can look at a picture and remember the times when we were doing those wonderful family bonding activities. I chose this artifact to represent pathos because of the emotions I feel when I see it and am reminded of the emotions I felt during the actual experience. Photographs are a great way to show pathos because it is a visual representation of someones feelings. You can read body language and see facial expressions that show the emotion the subject is experiencing.
