Answer:

Pathos is represented in this work by the sadness and melancholy caused by the tragic death of the main character's father.

Explanation:

Pathos means "suffering and experience". In Aristotle's rhetoric, this translates into the ability of the speaker or writer to provoke emotions and feelings in his audience. Pathos is associated with emotion, refers to the appeal to the emotional side of the target audience. In short, pathos seeks to empathize with the public. When the author shows in the book "A Shocking Accident" all the suffering, melancholy and pain that the character is feeling through the sudden death of his father, the author is able to move the readers and communicate with them through a plot, using pathos.

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer is letter B, The first passage uses factual descriptions to achieve an informative tone, but the second passage uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone.

Explanation:

Every writer has a theme when it comes to writing. In order to let the audience or readers know about its theme, it sets a specific tone which <u>tells much about a writer's attitude</u>. The tone can vary in the different parts of the story or it can just be one.

In the passages above, the first one uses factual description to achieve an informative tone. <u>Factual descriptions</u> <em>are based on information that are proven to be true (facts).</em> The description of the Tai-me of being a small image, less than 2 feet in length, etc. shows the real description about the thing. <u>It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."</u>

The second passage, on the contrary, uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone. The writer tells a story about visiting his father and grandmother and seeing the Tai-me. This is a personal experience which tries to achieve a reflective tone by sharing insights to the readers.
