In some cases, it may be used to emphasize a point. Pathos appeals to a reader or audience\u2019s emotions so it is commonly used to create sympathy, empathy, or even fear.

Take a look at these lyrics which repeat throughout the song:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">\u201cI remember you said &#8216;sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_in_Poetry_%E2%80%A6_%E2%9C%8D%F0%9F%8F%BD\"><\/span><span class=\"highlight\"><mark style=\"background-color:#e2faf1\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><span class=\"highlight\"><mark style=\"background-color:#e2faf1\" class=\"has-inline-color\">And in Poetry \u2026<\/mark><\/span> \u270d\ud83c\udffd<\/mark><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While a little more difficult to identify, pathos is also found in poetry. One of the most impactful examples of this occurs in a poem called \u201c<strong>Testimony<\/strong>\u201d from relatively new, modern poet, <strong>Hafizah Geter<\/strong>. She writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<p>\u201cAfter they shot me they tackled my sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sound of her knees hitting the sidewalk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>made my stomach ache.

The poem serves as a written record of the death of a 12-year-old boy at the hands of police officers.

You really don\u2019t have to look too hard to find an emotional appeal in a Disney movie. Now, having said that, one of the most heartbreaking emotional appeals ever made occurs in <strong><em>The Fox and the Hound<\/em><\/strong> (1981).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fox &amp; Hound (Tod &amp; Copper \/ Cap &amp; Capper) ... sad scene\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y3oZ0Il4QH4?start=227&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>While this example is not exactly the loss of a parent, it may as well be, in a sense.
