Explanation

The Appeal to Emotions is a persuasive resource that uses language to convince someone of the truth of a fact by manipulating their emotions, without any logical reasoning. This resource is very effective in getting the audience to favor what the speaker is saying because it moves the public's will to achieve a goal or to make a decision.
