Question
Which excerpt from the 1879 Speech by Chief Joseph is the best example of pathos?
At last I was granted permission to come to Washington and bring my friend Yellow Bull and our interpreter with me. I am glad I came.
I see men of my own race treated as outlaws and driven from country to country, or shot down like animals.
Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers.
We shall be all alike -- brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all.
