Which statement about the narrator's son is the best example of pathos?

Question

A. "The boy had a good appetite, so I didn't have to make him eat."

B.He was four, a little brown boy in blue rompers, and when he talked and laughed. . .his voice was soft. . ."

C.I could hear the boy crying in just that note no other child has, and when I came completely around I found him standing. . .with tears on his face."

D."He would play with the ball. . .poor little rascal, he would play until he grew sick of playing."

I can't decided between C and D. I feel that C provokes suffering and sympathy from the reader because you know a child is upset. However, D shows that the narrator feels sympathy for the child and therefore the reader feels that same sympathy. So I'm not sure! Please more than one person respond!

Answer 1

I think it's C.
