QUOTE: Originally posted by Willy2 There is already homework in school. Today's "word of the day" in my literature class was pathos. Everyone in the class had to look up the definition of pathos, and a word that means the opposite of pathos. The definition was easy enoughto find: The quality of something experienced or observed which arouses feelings of pity, sorrow, sympathy, or compassion. The opposite was more difficult. My Mom and I did find a very good opposite, and I believe that the teacher will be happy with it. To make this about trains, I will use pathos in a sentence about trains: I feel pathos for anyone who waits by the train track for an hour, and doesn't see a single train. I feel pathos when I don't see a train after waiting for an hour or more. Trust me, I've felt pathos about trains many times. If you would like, you can try to find the opposite of pathos that my Mom and I found. If nobody has found it by Saturday evening, I'll reveal the antonym that we found. I'm just trying to make this a bit fun, so don't go way out your way to find the opposite, just if you'd like to see if you can find it, that's great. Maybe somebody will find an even better antonym.
