Appeal To Pity Jealousy Arguments
Appeal to pity is an argument based on emotion, not on reason. The lawyer in this image is clearly trying to win the support of his argument and also the support of the jury by exploiting their feelings and emotions. There are clearly no truth in the lawyer's conclusion and coming up with a better argument would be the best way to get rid of this logical fallacy.

This stool tells us that reason we lose at trial is because of compassion fatigue, tort reform, and negative attribution. The jury comes to the courtroom tainted with these afflictions, without us making a single argument or admitting a single piece of evidence.

    The Architect’s statement is an appeal to emotions because he was attempting to use emotion, sympathy, that the boy is barely an adult. This is a fact in the trial, but nothing to assume that he is innocent.

    Senera the Younger said, "Life is neither a good nor an evil: it is a field for good and evil." This quote shows that when people go through life, it is not good or evil because it is a choice to be chosen. People are put in the field of good and evil to figure out where they are supposed to stand in life. Jealousy is shown most in this novel from Gene towards Finny in many different ways. Gene was a pessimistic thinker and he always saw the worst of things. When Gene showed guilt he did many things to show that he was feeling that way by trying to be like Finny. In the novel, A Separate Peace, Gene is inherently evil because he shows jealousy, pessimism, and guilt.…

    Jealous vs Envy

    • 1977 Words
    • 8 Pages

    At first glance the average person might think that the words envious and jealous can be used interchangeably, because they are synonyms, but if you stop and analyze these two words you will find that they are not all that interchangeable. When it comes to deciding what words are kept in a language and what words are eventually replaced by more efficient words, a linguist knows that a language can only stand to keep words that communicate something and that are efficient in that communication process. Due to the fact that a language only keeps words that are need to communicate something that is unique to that word I believe that the English language would not keep envious and jealous if the two words communicated the same exact message. In the first half of this paper I will analize the word envious and how it is used in literary examples. Then in the second half of this paper I will look at the word jealous and how it is used in literary texts. Once I have examined both of words I will then compare how the two words differ in their usages.…

    Envy is known as one of the seven deadly sins for its ability to corrupt those who experience it. Similarly, jealousy can have a similar effect on people, especially when they decide to act on it. Although both envy and jealousy seem extremely similar, there is a fine line separating the two. Darlene Lancer mentions in her article, “How Insecurity Leads to Envy, Jealousy, and Shame,” that envy is a “feeling of discontent… with regard to someone’s advantages, possessions, or traits such as beauty, success, or talent.” Envy usually stems from feelings of inferiority. In contrast, whereas envy is “the desire to possess what someone else has,” jealousy is defined as the “fear of losing what we have” (Lancer).…

    Envy Vs. Anger

    At first glance envy and anger seem to be simple emotions that one encounters in life. It is not until one looks at the heart of these two deadly vices that one can see their impact on others and society. Envy goes beyond the surface of “wanting” something that belongs to someone else to the core of wishing or actually harming another because you feel they have or are receiving what should belong to you. The fundamental attitude of the envious is directly opposed to love. To love is to seek others’ good and rejoice when they have it. To envy is to destroy others’ good and sorrow over their having it (DeYoung, 2009, p.51). Proverbs 14:30 states, “A sound heart is life to the body. But envy is rottenness to the bones” (New King James…
