In this essay, the POINT is the topic sentence, which offers an evaluation of Cross’s or Robson’s use of pathos. To ILLUSTRATE the point, refer to the passages I’ve supplied here. Each body paragraph must contain the two quotes supplied below Use ICE for quoting and paraphrasing material. (Introduce, Cite, Explain). To EXPLAIN the illustration, analyze how and why the illustration supports your evaluation of Cross’s or Robson’s use of pathos. Remember that analysis and evaluation are generally the longest, most robust parts of the paragraph. How does the example function in the argument? How does it help readers connect to an aspect of Cross’s or Robson’s message?  TRANSITION to a new example. Use transitional words or phrases to introduce the next example. ILLUSTRATE, EXPLAIN: Follow the steps for ILLUSTRATE and EXPLAIN for the second example.  End with a closing sentence that links back to the effect that Cross’s or Robson’s use of pathos has on readers’ overall experience of the argument. PASSAGES FROM WHICH YOU MAY QUOTE IN THE ESSAY RULES: Quote twice in each body paragraph to avoid an automatic failing score! Use proper APA in-text citations.  Do not quote more than 40 words from a passage. If a passage contains more than 40 words, paraphrase what you can and quote the more essential wording.  The in-text citations after each passage show the correct page numbers. However, these are non-narrative parenthetical in-text citations. While they are correct, you should typically use narrative APA in-text citations for most quotes. (Remember to use past tense signal verbs.)  Narrative In-Text Citation Example: Cross (1977/2023) observed, “Quote” (p. 267). Narrative In-Text Citation Example: According to Robson (2022/2023), “Quote” (p. 445).  “Propaganda: How Not to Be Bamboozled” by Cross  PATHOS: Passage 1:  “If we are to be led, let us not be led blindly, but critically, intelligently, with our eyes open. If we are to continue to be a government ‘by the people,’ let us become informed about the methods and purposes of propaganda, so we can be the masters, not the slaves of our destiny” (Cross, 1977/2023, p. 267).  Passage 2:  “Propaganda works best with an uncritical audience. Joseph Goebbels, propaganda minister in Nazi Germany, once defined his work as ‘the conquest of the masses.’ The masses would not have been conquered, however, if they had known how to challenge and to question, how to make distinctions between propaganda and reasonable argument” (Cross, 1977/2023, p. 257).  “How Self-Deception Allows People to Lie” by Robson PATHOS: Passage 1: “The first step is acknowledging the problem. Perhaps you think that you don’t need this advice; self-deception only afflicts others, while you are perfectly honest with yourself. If so, that may be your greatest delusion of all” (Robson, 2022/2023, p. 445).  Passage 2:  “By understanding the different factors contributing to self-deception, we can try to spot when it might be swaying our own decisions, and prevent these delusions from leading us astray” (Robson, 2022/2023, p. 440).
