A statement that primarily appeals to pathos emphasizes feeling, compassion, or vivid imagery. Example:

"Every day, patients fighting for their lives are handed greasy, processed hospital meals that slow their recovery while families watch in heartbreak — we owe sick people nourishing food that truly helps them heal."

Why this is pathos: it evokes sympathy and anger by focusing on suffering, family emotions, and moral obligation rather than facts or authority.

(For contrast: a logos statement would cite studies or statistics about recovery rates and nutrition; an ethos statement would stress the speaker’s expertise or trustworthiness on hospital care.)
