An emotional appeal used in stories often trigger an emotion from the reader's mind and manipulates people with that feeling and tries to use that feeling to persuade the main idea of the essay/story.
An emotional appeal will sometimes exaggerate it in order to persuade people. For example, The Declaration of Independent by Jefferson. He tried to fire up people to fight against the king. Diction is important of emotional appeal. Different word can show how strong the work is.
An emotional appeal tries to make the reader connect the writer’s message with an important feeling. An example of an emotional appeal in daily life is when a volunteer from a charity shows you a picture of starving children to try to get you donate money.
An emotional appeal used in literature is often based on one's emotions and not on concrete facts or evidence. It is usually aimed to convince people to believe in something by using strong emotions to stir up the readers' thoughts and feelings.
An example of emotional appeal: You should adopt some animals from the local animal shelter to give a warm, loving home to these homeless animals that are required to stay by themselves in the shelter. All those puppies and kittens are just left abandoned with no one to take care of them or love them. Do you really have the heart to leave them there like that?
An emotional appeal used in literature is often based on one's emotions and not on concrete facts or evidence. An example would be someone thinks talking while other people are speaking is wrong but acceptable, but some people think that it is unacceptable.
An emotional appeal manipulates audience's emotions. For example, when president Obama ran for presidency in 2008, he persuaded all the Americans to believe that he could bring hopes and make dreams come true through his emotion-appealing speech, Yes We Can.
How does your example support an emotional appeal? I thought Obama " persuaded" americans to vote for him by giving promises and concrete resolutions that could help make it come true.
An emotional appeal's main idea is to also catch the reader/audience emotions. For an example, a writer that wants to win your point of view for a debatable subject may use very aggressive and emotional words to accomplish.
Example of emotional appeal: Imagine a full court with 9 other people just as enthusiastic as you in being able to be there, and play the sport. In basketball, you experience the full throttle of an exhilarating game, and learn the true meaning of teamwork and sportsmanship. Every pass, every assist, every steal, and every shot leaves you satisfied and proud for the little mark you had just left on the court. As you shoot the ball, the ball leaves your hand, glides through the air, and goes flying through the net. That feeling of something leaving you to accomplish something even greater, is really the best feeling in the world. This is truly why basketball is the greatest sport of all.
Emotional appeal is used as a way for author to express self-thoughts regarding the topics. Emotions are usually shown through the texts rather than facts and concrete evidences. One example will be a guy thinks that children should clean their room periodically while other people may disagree.
An emotional appeal is normally biased because every single character has a different background and a different view when looking at things. For example, a kid might think that there's too much homework to do, but his mom might think that it's ok because it's for his own good.
An example for emotional appeal: One should not waste food, because there are many children in Africa that don't get the luxury of even having food like most people in MEDCs. Wealthier people should cherish what they have and help the poor, poor people in LEDCs.
An emotional appeal can used by the author to get the reader to sympathize with what the characters are feeling in the story and possibly use this momentarily lapse of having the reader's guard down to inform or persuade an otherwise close-minded reader. An example of an emotional appeal would be depicting animals dying in literature, which somehow causes the reader to sympathize with it more in comparison to if a human had died.
Authors that uses good emotional appeal can make the readers feel what the author intended the readers to feel. For example, Harper Lee made most readers dispise Bob Ewell, and Edgar Allen Poe made the readers afraid of the main character (who was crazy and murdered an old man.) Also, Poe made the readers feel pity towards the old man since he did nothing wrong but having weird eyes and get killed just because of that.
This probably had little to do with an emotional appeal, because Edgar Allen created those two characters through a lot of indirect characterization. Meaning, he actually provided evidence on the characters of the two and allowed the readers to make their own conclusions. If Edgar Allen Poe at one point of the story were to say " How can Bob Edwell do that to the old man!" that would be an emotional appeal.
While writing an article that trying to persuade people not to tear down the rest home, making the readers think about the elders in their family is an example of emotional appeal.
Emotional appeal is often ineffective in arguing a point because readers are often times looking for concrete evidence, not simply shootout of somebody's beliefs..
A very common kind of emotional appeal is inserting fear to the story in order to cover the wrong doings of a character, we wouldn't blame the behavior because we knew he was scared at that moment.
