Introducing the Strategy: Adding by Looping
Looping is one way to add emotional appeal (pathos) to your writing. With looping, you underline an important sentence or a particular word or phrase. You then write a few more sentences to add new ideas. Repeating the process with the new sentences allows you to keep adding ideas to your writing.
Dear Family
I would like to go to Colorado for our family vacation. We could go on a rafting trip there! I have heard that rafting is an exhilarating experience.

Thank you for considering it. Your daughter
