Sample: As misericordiam: An appeal to the audience’s sympathy; an attempt to persuade another, using a hard luck story rather than logic or reason. For example, if you slapped your little sister and then told your parents you did it because you’re under a lot of stress at school, that would be pleading ad misercordiam Example: “Oh, Mom, everyone in my class is going to the party. Do you want me to be left out?” Below is an alphabetical list BY CATEGORY of the literary terms, with the category they belong to, and the page number on which they appear.
