Ethos and Pathos

Pete has been putting his English class to good use. Mom was crafting a letter to the Principal (Mr. Spage) to get permission for Pete to take 8 credits in the Spring (a request that was already denied by his Guidance Counselor, Ms. Harris). So Pete was helping Mom update her e-mail to include more ethos and pathos, so it would be more persuasive to Mr. Spage.
