Today's Argument

A few days ago I started an argument... at home. It wasn't anything to feel bad about really, just my sister and I performing our daily discussions. It went like this: I had gotten home from school and she told me she needed to talk to me, obviously I agreed, she then began to tell me to clear all my plans for Friday because she wanted us (meaning all of us siblings) to go out and eat. It wasn't the free food that made me a little mad, it was the fact that she wanted me to drop everything just so we could go out and eat. I wanted to be persuasive so I used pathos, I tried to play with her emotions by faking some of mine. The reason I chose pathos was because my sister is stubborn, but when I'm able to push the right buttons, like making her feel guilty about how stressed and packed I've been this week and all I want  need to do on Friday is fall asleep right after I get home- then I can always win an argument with her.
