This definately appeals to the pathos, or the heart because it appeals to the idea of being a rebel southerner, a confederate, and all the ideas about how evil the yankees were to the South not allowing their seccession. It also appeals to the alcohol tolerance, because everyone wants to achieve rebel status by drinking all that alcohol in one sip.

Arguments with Pathos
My argumentative object that I chose is a shot glass that I purchased at a Civil War Museum in Atlanta. ( fondly referred to as the "war of Northern Aggression" sometimes in the South). It has a confederate flag on the front and 3 markers on the back for however much alcohal you fill the glass with. The lowest marker says "yellow-bellied yank" on it. If you have a higher tolerance, you can fill it up to the 2nd marker and be a "southern belle". And by filling to glass all the way to the "Rebel" marker, you will be a true southern rebel.

I like how something like a shot glass can even have school related material on it! It's cool that the shot glass is relating to our emotions because it's true that no one wants to be called a "light weight" or told that they can't hold their liquor. Rather, like the shot glass says, we all want to be the rebels and be able to drink the most alcohol out of everyone!
