extra credit blog (pathos)

     I am going to write about Sara Evans song, "A little bit stronger." My main reason is when I first heard it it almost brought me to tears and I am not a weepy willow. I felt the emotions coming from her voice and it struck me that we must all feel the same feelings when going through a really difficult time.
     I plan on researching a little bit and see who the writer was and hopefully find out their story or if it was just something written on a whim, if it was Sara then I want to see what inspired her, was it her divorce or is it just that heartache and breakups sell music. I am also just ask a bunch of my friends what they feel, as far as emotional reaction when they hear this song. I am really curious how this relates to the how we react to certain traumatic events that might happen in our lives.

  1. HI Penny,

    Have you decided if you will analyze how "A Little Bit Stronger" by Sarah Evans employs ethos or pathos? If you select pathos, then I encourage you to analyze the song lyrics and how they employ pathos. I understand that you may have felt a connection with the song, which you can describe this to us to emphasize how this song employs pathos, but in order for this to remain a rhetorical argument, I encourage you to analyze each lyric.
