Pathos Analysis Starbucks

Obviously, pathos is a large part of the Analysis of Space paper. Throughout my paper, I wanted to describe my desk as messy, but comforting. My goal here was to connect with the reader’s emotions. Even if the reader preferred a clean desk, he or she would be able to better understand why I prefer a messy desk. In the paragraph about the wood my desk is made of, I chose to compare its color to that of coffee. Coffee is a morning ritual that many enjoy, which makes my writing easier for the reader to connect with emotionally.
Another way that I used pathos in my paper was in how I described emotions towards my desk. Specifically, I said I was “drawn to and strangely comforted by the clutter”. Even if the reader does not share my feelings towards
messy desks, the reader will likely picture his or her own preferred space. This will invoke positive and relaxed emotions in the reader’s mind.
