body paragraph)
T/S While Feys hurts his ethos, one has to also
consent to the power of his pathos.
C-Early in Feys’ essay, he uses a strong word
albeit less than professional. He uses,
Q-He uses, “freak” several times in his essay.
T-Admittedly, the writer chooses a poor term
to describe those that are not conformists. It is
mean. However, a reader would feel some
reaction to this word too. Any emotional
reaction makes this a strong emotional appeal.
Therefore, this demonstrates that Feys may not
win any awards, but he also is not the worst
writer.
Always have a clincher 
