What i found interesting...

One of the concepts in Chapter 10 that I found to be very interesting was the appeal to pity. As I mentioned in my earlier post before this one I said that the appeal to pity was the appeal to emotion that was the most striking to me. Not only was it the most striking appeal to me but it was the most interesting concept that I learned in the whole chapter. I found it to be very interesting because I realized that so many people use that appeal without even knowing it. Although it seems to be a bad appeal, it is very true. Doing something for someone just because you feel sorry for them is not a very polite thing to do. I would say doing that would make you fake. It is not fair for the people that do not know that you are only doing this just because you feel sorry for them and that you do not even want to do it. Overall, I learned a lot from this appeal and I am very happy that the chapter brought the concept up because now everyone can pay close attention to people who use appeal to pity in their everyday lives.
