In the article “Instagrammers are sucking the life and soul out of travel” the author RhiannonLucy Cosslet displays the use of pathos in her article multiple times creating an emotional and
trustworthy touch to keep the readers engaged and interested with her notion. Furthermore,
throughout the article the author uses a negative tone including multiple negative connotations
about young tourists and how they use social media to advertise their travelling. Additionally, the
first use of pathos that I noticed as I was reading was the word “bum” (in paragraph 3). This
negative connotation made me see the use of the author's language and realize how she used the
word to show disappointment in how some people will hire “instagram butlers” to help them get
the perfect shot. Not to mention, the emotional appeals that the author uses “pity the poor locals”
and “sucking the joy and spontaneity out of travel” (in paragraph 4) to emphasize how much she
thinks and believes that these young tourists are annoying to the point where she pittys the locals
and feels as if they are sucking joy out of travel. Above all, the author’s use of pathos that caught
my eye the most and made me more interested in reading was the two words “idiotic risks”
(paragraph 7). This use of pathos shows that the author has a strong negative feeling about young
tourists because they are always taking risks that seem unsafe and even “idiotic” like hanging
out of fast moving trains perhaps. Lastly, the author includes herself at the end of the article
when the phrase (paragraph 9) “the irony of being a tourist and not liking other tourists” was
mentioned. This displays how the author shows irony in how she is a tourist herself whilst
criticizing others who are also tourists. However, the author mentions at the very end of the
article how everybody wants to see the world while some just want to see it without someone's
backside covering a beautiful view. In conclusion, I did find this article persuasive with all of the
author's pathos strategies that were displayed.
