Question

prompt: what appeal has the greatest effect on you? why do you think you are most prone to be influenced by this appeal? - write a careful, crafty paragraph that features a compound sentence with a conjunctive adverb. - read your work out - loud before publishing it and listen for proper punctuation. model: im a sucker for sad eyes; thus, i am most effected by pathos. why? i am very emotional, perhaps due to a wild storm of a childhood. i have trouble drawing emotional boundaries; however, this trouble can be good--for i am also extraordinarily empathetic, and i consider that a great strength.

Explanation:

To answer this, we choose a persuasive appeal (e.g., ethos, pathos, logos). Let's pick pathos (emotional appeal) for relatability. We'll craft a compound sentence with a conjunctive adverb (e.g., "thus", "however", "therefore"). Start by stating the appeal, explain the effect, then the reason with a conjunctive adverb - containing compound sentence. For example, using pathos: I'm deeply moved by stories of human resilience; thus, pathos has the greatest effect on me. I think I'm prone to this appeal because I've always been sensitive to others' struggles, and I often find myself imagining their experiences, which makes emotional storytelling resonate powerfully. This trouble with emotional detachment (or embrace) can be a strength, however, as it allows me to connect deeply with narratives that stir the heart.
