Choosing an Event to Write About : I will write a memoir on my cat whose hind limbs were paralyzed, I brought him when he was a sickly kitten and he hardly had any chances of survival. Considering the Rhetorical Situation: My memoir will reflect on pathos, ethos well as logos. My writing will convey a very sad and sympathetic story of my cat whom, I brought home when he was sick and his hind limb was paralyzed. He stayed with me through thick and thin, but unfortunately, after several surgeries and medication, he could not make it and passed away due to several digestive problems.
