has a personal connection to these ideas because of her past. She was once in the same situation as the people she speaks for. Malala begins her speech by stating that the day know as ‘Malala Day’ is not about her, but instead it is about the people she speaks for. This is one example of emotional appeal, better known as pathos. By telling the people that this day belongs to them Malala is in a sense “giving the power to the people” as they say. This…

Diane’s spot on the patio is different from everyone else’s, so it just goes to show that Diane set up her spot. The evidence that has been collected shows that Diane’s chair is the only chair that is tilted against the wall.
