Which statement from "ain't i a woman? " is an example of pathos, or an appeal based on emotion? well, children, where there is so much racket there must be something out of kilter. that man over there says that women need to be into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. i have borne thirteen children, and seen most all sold off to slavery, and when i cried out with my mother’s grief, none but jesus heard me! if my cup won’t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn’t you be mean not to let me have my little half-measure full?
