Pathos Analysis: The Syrian Refugee Crisis In Germany

Decent Essays
Pathos Analysis The article that I selected was about the Syrian Refugee crisis in Germany. The article effectively conveys pathos in getting the reader angry over the injustice going on with the Berlin asylum policy. One example where the article clearly conveys the “deplorable” conditions that refugees live in is when it states, “ The upshot is that refugees end up festering away in reception centers in Hungary, Bulgaria and Italy amid conditions that organizations such as Human Rights Watch deem deplorable.” By stating this, the author wishes to appeal to the reader's sense of empathy for the refugees so that they are willing to listen.

These ideas consequently lead to transformed perceptions of life and human experiences as a whole and thus a rediscovery. These ideas are further explored through various language forms utilising both dramatic and literary techniques that amplify the concept of discovery and its effect on groups and individuals.…

    Satire is defined as the "use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices", it is mostly used in the context of contemporary politics and is known for "making fun" of seemingly serious conversations and debates. Jonathan Swift constructs a piece of literature balancing on the edge of irony and absurdity with his proposal that would "end the hunger". He begins with having the reader feel sympathy with the people of Ireland and calling the famine a "melancholy subject" and describes what it's like to walk through the city surrounded by beggars in rags and he gains the sympathy of the reader so that they begin to sympathize with the people of Ireland. However, through the piece he begins to use irony as a sort of support system as he composes his piece, he proposed radical details of the breeding of children for money and even described several situations in which the breeding will be justified and deemed almost "normal" and he talks about it in a…

    Safety is a priceless commodity. Nevertheless, Syrian migrants paying an average of 2500 euro ($2840) to be smuggled into European nations would argue otherwise. The Syrian refugee crisis continues to be an international issue as the United States and other non-European nations begin to extend asylum offers to refugees, while European nations hope the 230 million euros they have invested in researching methods to hinder illegal immigration will prove successful in combatting refugees looking to immigrate illegally.
