An emotional appeal is a method of persuasion that is designed to create an emotional response. Emotional
appeals persuade audiences by arousing the emotions. They refer to the speaker or writer’s goal of arousing the
emotions of an audience to move them to act.

Every day we communicate with people and make countless decisions. Our decisions tend to be
influenced by our environment and stereotypes that already exist in the society into which we were born. This
decision may be a product of our thinking and instinctive feelings that play a strong part in influencing our
judgments away from being balanced or even-handed.
Whether purposely or unintentionally, this can have very real and potentially detrimental consequences
in society and our being because of our prejudiced thinking and biased actions
Bias and prejudice are closely related and often used interchangeably. Both have a negative impact on
our dealings.
Bias is a tendency to look at things in a certain way, in preference to another way. It means a tendency to favor
or support or against a particular one person, group, thing, or point of view over another resulting in unfairness.

The judgment of ideas, points of view, and arguments presented in texts or other platforms are important
for students' growth as independent thinkers. Learning how to analyze and critically evaluate information's
truthfulness helps you develop a sound framework to test your arguments and enrich your points of view.
Moreover, it is only through sound judgment and worth of ideas that students can distinguish among
challenging claims for truth and determine which arguments and points of views they can trust and those of
which they should be skeptical, especially when they view and/or listen to the information in the internet or
other technological advancement.
Remember that reading is a goal-directed activity such that a reader seeks to reach a particular outcome.
Thus, text relevance refers to the match between a reader's goal and information germane to that goal. Consider
the following when reading texts online:
• Information that closely matches a reader's goal is more relevant, whereas information that does not match the
goal is less relevant, regardless of its importance.
• Relevance differs from importance in that readers assign relevance to information. In contrast, importance is
author-defined and is cued by various characteristics internal to the text (e.g., first mention, text signals,
elaboration) McCrudden, M. T., & Schraw, G. (2007).
Activity 1: Play Sequence
Read the summary of a radio play presented below and answer the activity that follows.
Sorry, Wrong Number
by Lucille Fletcher
Mrs. Elbert Smythe Stevenson is the only character in Lucille Fletcher's 1943 drama, which was
originally produced for the Suspense radio program. An invalid whose unspecified health condition keeps her
confined to her bed in an upstairs room, Mrs. Stevenson (whose first name is not provided) is usually attended
by a maid. On the night the drama takes place, she has given the maid the night off. As her husband, Elbert, is
still at work, she is alone.
The play opens with Mrs. Stevenson speaking to the telephone operator. She reports that her attempt to
call a particular number was unsuccessful. Surmising that some wires had gotten crossed, she reports that she
was patched into the wrong number. The conversation between two men that she listened to revealed "the most
dreadful thing," a murder plot. She directs the operator to trace the call. (The audience cannot hear the operator's
lines of dialogue.)
Mrs. Stevenson admits to the operator that it was not her business, but she defends her actions because
the men she heard are "cold-blooded fiends" who are going to commit murder. The intended victim is a "poor,
innocent woman," alone in her house, which is near a bridge. She pleads with the operator to help her stop the
would-be killers. Mrs. Stevenson speaks sharply to the apparently unsympathetic operator, blaming them for
misdialing her original call. She suggests that the operator repeat their original, careless mistake.
The operator apparently does not comply, as Mrs. Stevenson gets the busy signal of the number she had
originally dialed. Mrs. Stevenson redials the operator again and becomes more insistent, saying that tracing the
call is her "civic duty." She now agrees to be connected to the chief operator, to whom she repeats her story.
Mrs. Stevenson insists that it is absolutely necessary to stop the terrible, coldblooded murder of an innocent
woman.
She provides her own name and phone number to the chief operator, repeating her demand that the other
call be traced. She again provides the reason that her intent is to prevent the dangerous men from killing
someone, which will occur at 11:15 that night. As the operator apparently tells her to contact the police directly,
she first dismisses the "idiotic" suggestion as tying her up in "red tape," then hangs up and calls the police.
Stating that she is reporting a murder, she revises the claim to indicate that it is a forthcoming murder.
The men she heard are planning to murder a woman who lives "in a house near a bridge." Other details of their
conversation include references to the client who hired the men to kill her with a knife and steal her jewelry. As
she provides her name, phone number, and address, she reveals that her home is near the Queensborough Bridge
and Second Avenue. She also states that she is invalid, her husband is working late, and it is the maid's night
off. She asks that they send a radio car.
As she muses that the neighborhood described sounds like her own, she also admits that she is nervous
about being alone. She describes her maid, Eloise, as big and strong but lazy and tells them how much her
husband adores her. She has been ill for twelve years. As the police officer apparently declines to help, she
insists that her situation is a high priority, calls him an idiot, and slams down the phone.
Next, she calls the operator again and has them call her husband's number, 4 which is still busy. Then
the phone rings. When she answers, there is no one there. This happens once more; then she redials the
operator. Admittedly very nervous, she berates the young female operator for the inefficient service and her
"unpardonable rudeness." Stressing her own "suffering," she explodes: "You're so stupid!"
After she hangs up, the phone rings again, and again no one is there. The next time she picks up,
however, the call is from Western Union with a telegram from Elbert: he is not coming home but going to
Boston on business at 11 p.m.
Now Mrs. Stevenson is truly distraught; she thinks that if she has to stay home alone, she will "go mad."
She decides to hire a nurse to stay with her. From the operator, she gets the number of Henchly Hospital, then
dials them direct, asking for the Nurses Registry and telling the reception that she wants "a trained nurse,"
whom she will "hire immediately . . . for the night." However, the woman she must speak with, Miss Phillips,
had gone to dinner at 11 p.m. In this way, Mrs. Stevenson—now shouting into the phone—learns that the time
is 11:14 p.m. While still on the line, she hears a click, indicating that someone is on the extension phone
downstairs in the kitchen. She hangs up with the hospital and once again dials the operator.
As the play ends, she whispers into the phone, urging the operator to believe that she is in "desperate
trouble" and cannot speak louder because someone could overhear. Someone is in the house; she insists—the
murderer. She knows he is listening on the extension. As she begs the operator to get the police, she hears the
click when he hangs up the extension, then hears him coming up the stairs.
As she orders over and over that the operator call the police, her voice is drowned out by the noise of a
train crossing the bridge outside. Her scream coincides with the train whistle.
Next, for the first time, the audience hears a different voice. At the police station, Sergeant Martin is
answering a call. He responds to the man on the other end:
"Yes, sir— What, sir? Wrong number? Okay. Good night, sir."

Activity 2: Truth, Untruth
Read the following statements inside the boxes. Tell whether they express TRUTH about the radio play.
Otherwise, write UNTRUTH. Write your answer inside the bubble.
On a hot summer's day, the young men of each faction fight until the Prince of Verona intercedes and
threatens to banish them. Soon after, the head of the Capulet family plans a feast. His goal is to introduce his
daughter Juliet to a Count named Paris, who seeks to marry Juliet.
Montague's son Romeo and his friends (Benvolio and Mercutio) hear of the party and resolve to go in
disguise. Romeo hopes to see his beloved Rosaline at the party. Instead, while there, he meets Juliet and falls
instantly in love with her. Juliet's cousin Tybalt recognizes the Montague boys and forces them to leave just as
Romeo and Juliet discover one another.
Romeo lingers near the Capulet's house to talk with Juliet when she appears in her window. The pair
declares their love for one another and intends to marry the next day. With Juliet's Nurse's help, the lovers
arrange to marry when Juliet goes for confession at the cell of Friar Laurence. There, they are secretly married
(talk about a short engagement).
Following the secret marriage, Juliet's cousin Tybalt sends a challenge to Romeo. Romeo refuses to
fight, which angers his friend Mercutio who then fights with Tybalt. Mercutio is accidentally killed as Romeo
intervenes to stop the fight. In anger, Romeo pursues Tybalt, kills him, and is banished by the Prince.
Juliet is anxious when Romeo is late to meet her and learns of the brawl, Tybalt's death, and Romeo's
banishment. Friar Laurence arranges for Romeo to spend the night with Juliet before he leaves for Mantua.
Meanwhile, the Capulet family grieves for Tybalt, so Lord Capulet moves Juliet's marriage to Paris to the next.
Juliet's parents are angry when Juliet doesn't want to marry Paris, but they don't know about her secret marriage
to Romeo.
Friar Laurence helps Juliet by providing a sleeping draught that will make her seem dead. When the
wedding party arrives to greet Juliet the next day, they believe she is dead. The Friar sends a messenger to warn
Romeo of Juliet's plan and bids him come to the Capulet family monument to rescue his sleeping wife.
The vital message to Romeo doesn't arrive in time because the plague is in town (so the messenger
cannot leave Verona). Hearing from his servant that Juliet is dead, Romeo buys poison from an Apothecary in
Mantua. He returns to Verona and goes to the tomb where he surprises and kills the mourning Paris. Romeo
takes his poison and dies, while Juliet awakens from her drugged coma. She learns what has happened from
Friar Laurence, but she refuses to leave the tomb and stabs herself. The Friar returns with the Prince, the
Capulets, and Romeo's lately widowed father. The deaths of their children lead the families to make peace, and
they promise to erect a monument in Romeo and Juliet's memory.
