 * People survive and thrive in adverse circumstances because they have something worth fighting for.**

‍

This picture fits with my theme because this 11 year old boy Mikey Stolzenberg has something worth fighting for. Mikey has no legs or arms and fights to be just like everyone else. The author took this picture to inspire people, and show them that they can overcome their challenges. The author uses Pathos to get you to connect with the picture. It makes you feel sympathy for him, but also a sense of pride that he keeps on fighting.

 * "Hold On" By Wyclef Jean**

This song fits with the theme of holding on and to keep on fighting to survive. Wyclef Jean is from Haiti and knows all about struggling and having challenges, and also overcoming them. The Author uses Ethos to persuade the audience. Coming from Haiti he has been through his own experiences of challenges. He also uses Pathos in his chorus by saying “Hold on, be strong No matter what you're goin' through You know it's gon' be okay, okay, today Even when the earth quakes”
