John Quincy

From 6:30 to the end of the phone call
and then the last video






I find the best scene the conversation between John and his son. This most definitely appeals to the viewers pathos. The son is struggling to survive and unbeknown to him, his father is doing everything her can to ensure his son is helped. This scene shows the son realize the seriousness of the situation, and John breaking down when he considers the negative side of this scenario. Tho other scene that caught my attention was when John explains how he will not accept the fact his son is going to die. This is another example of pathos; John explains why his kid is a good kid and deserves another chance. He is willing to give his life to save his son's The first scene shows the vulnerability and compassion John has towards his son, and the second shows the love and selflessness he has.
