In Class: Pathos & Analyzing a Public Space

As of right now, I am leaning towards analyzing Barnes & Noble.

People go to Barnes & Noble for many different reasons. Some may simply to buy a book for school. Some may go to sit in the back of the store and read a book quietly, away from the hectic world outside. Some may go to try and find a book in the children's section that their grandma read them when they were a kid. Some may go to to purchase a journal that they can write and express their feelings in. Some may go to purchase a CD they have been dying to own. My friends and I go to look at the different books about different cities, countries, and places around the world to dream about where we want to travel at some point in our lives.

People typically go to Barnes & Noble to find something that is going to appeal to them emotionally. Books, music, journals, peace and quiet, and everything else appeal to pathos.
