Given that the student cited both elements of The Rhetorical Situation and Rhetorical Appeal, it can be inferred that they agree with the response.

I agree with the student's response because it is important to recognize the audience and the emotions that they may feel during communication. For example, if you are trying to make an argument persuasive, you must be aware of the audience and how their emotions may influence their opinion. Questions for the student: What other elements of the Rhetorical Situation should be considered when making an argument? What strategies can be used to effectively appeal to Pathos in communication? My example: During a debate, a speaker must be aware of the audience they are speaking to, and use language and examples that will appeal to the emotions of that particular audience. For instance, if a parent is arguing against taxing their local school district, they should focus on personal stories and experiences of how the taxes have affected their own family in order to draw an emotional response from those in the audience.
