Facing Pathos


Pathos is a quality in a work or part of a work that makes the reader feel pity, sorrow or tenderness. Generally, the character is a pathetic, helpless, or innocent victim experiencing suffering through no fault of his/her own. Identify and explain an example of pathos in Chapters 20-30 of HUCK FINN. Why did this event stand out in your mind? (The deadline to post a response to this question is midnight July 12, 2010)
