I am really having a hard time writing about this and coming up with an example.  Possibly due to me still struggling with the meanings.  I know the Pathos to be appealing to me based on emotion somewhat.  I see this everyday.  Fellow classmates mentioned the starving kids and animal cruelty commercials hitting you in the heart.  And of course those darned politicians pumping you full of what the other guy did and does and will do wrong if you elect them.  I have a tendency to get down right angry when I see that stuff.  The ones that get me the most are the starving children in other countries.  I am a compassionate man I would say, but I have a huge problem supporting anything like that for a few reasons.  Number one being when I was younger I knew two people that sent money, less than a cup of coffee a day they said and they both received the same picture of the same kid.  That told me right there that it was not what it seemed to be.  And the second reason is simply that I would have a hard time supporting anything overseas when we have many, many hungry and homeless people right here on our own corners.  It down right pisses me off.  I am the guy that gives them handouts, usually food and supplies for them and their pets they happen to have with them.  I never give them money though.  And I take a good analysis of if they are smoking, wearing new shoes and such.  maybe someone gave them new shoes but I think not.  I seen a fella the other day and he was smoking-five bucks a day habit, brand knew shoes, and they were Nike Air Jordans.  I assumed he was working the system as they sometimes say they do.  My biggest soft spot is for our veterans that seem to get treated like they did nothing and deserve nothing.  I am not sure if this is on target with the assignment, but it is what I pulled up in my craniums hard drive so to say.
