What is one thing you should do to analyze emotional appeals? Identify how emotions used by the author make you feel about the issue. Decide whether the emotional appeals are logical in light of the author's reasoning, evidence, and/or claim. Ask yourself whether the author's purpose is fully supported by emotional appeals. Determine whether the author's reasoning, evidence, and/or claim are valid.

Be cautious using emotional appeals. They have no place in an academic argument if their purpose-as often seen in advertising and politics-is to deceive or distort.

Explanation:

Emotional appeal can be accomplished in a multitude of ways:

By a metaphor or storytelling, common as a hook.

By a general passion in the delivery.

By an overall emotion.

By the sympathies of the speech or writing as determined by the audience.
