Some assignment that i cant remember the name of

Here we have two passages, both The Life of a Slave girl, and Narrative in the Life of Fredrick Douglas. Both passages are prime examples of life back in the slave days. When it comes to rhetoric, both passages have their similarities.
Both of these passages appeal to pathos. At first, the two stories seem to have no type of rhetoric whatsoever, but eventually as one reads further, one can make an emotional connection with the characters depicted within the story. Both stories contain examples of the cruelty shown to slaves in that period of time. Some examples more graphic than others, but they all contain blood, pain, and anger. These feelings and aspects of the story can be easily picked up by the reader, and felt by the reader. This further strengthens the connection between the authors work and his audience.
Both of these passages, The Life of a Slave Girl, and Narrative in the Life of Fredrick Douglas, establish pathos with their readers. They both are prime examples of life back in the slave days. Because of this and their realistic problems presented, they form an emotional connection with their readers.
