Enargeia: shouting at someone?

The latest reading followed suit of the previous. Instead of talking about logos or ethos though this chapter discussed pathos. I feel like I actually had a good understanding of what pathos was before reading the chapter, so not too much wowed me. There was a section in-particular though that caught my attention. The section labeled: Enargeia. Enargeia is the act of rhetors imagining how their crowd will respond and how this fantasy may just lead to a reality. This is a really interesting device because, I feel like people do this all the time. Not in speeches necessarily but everyday life. When people are planning on talking to each other, especially when it is a tough topic, normally they will think about what they say and try to predict a reaction from somebody else. It is our way of trying to be respectful. I am glad this section also briefly touches on how this device doesn't always work. The text mentions how sometimes people protesting abortion or animal rights can go too far when playing to peoples emotions--saying the signs can be the equivalent of shouting in someones face. Which I agree is the truth. The interesting thing about playing to a crowds emotions is how the crowd may not be able to understand what is happening because emotions have a tendency to be less tangible than how ethically or logically sound something is.
