I find the site to look enlightened even as depression is discussed. Also, encouraging in it's attempt to provide for someone ways which they can fight depression

Although the video does appear to bring life to the page I don't see how it contributes to the site.

I suppose Pathos can be credited because it is a lovely ride down a beautiful mountain in and on a mountain top.

This site caught my attention immediately. It looked soothing, it is easy to read and it deals with a delicate subject that affects many people. I think the colors of the page accomplished what it probably set out to do, which was create calm. Let's not forget, we are dealing with depression. This subject means something to me as I suffer from it on occasion. I can associate with this personally. The subject is not so much a controversial one, however, those who don't suffer from depression have been known to say, "Get over it!", which can be a negative experience for one in the throws of depression. I think the writers' purpose here it to inform and explain the symptoms of the disease as experienced by those it affects. I believe it also provides a forum for those who simply want to explain where they are at in their depression and to encourage others to understand that this is real and it affects many. It also serves more than one purpose as it provides suggestions on how to deal with it.The thesis, or the overall main point is basically to let the disease speak for itself and allow others to comment on the subjectThe tone of the text is relaxed and does not create feelings of unrest. It provides answers and links to all issues surrounding the subject of depression. I really liked the graphics of what appears to be grass. I imagine laying down in it and breathing in the fresh air. I also took a shine to the dandelions on the right side and I specifically liked the "I'm done hiding" at the top of the page. Many people hide the depression as they are embarrassed.  The highlighted areas are stand out texts for me.

Logos is achieved as the words are logical. Pathos is achieved as it appeals to my emotions because I have first hand knowledge of this sickness called depression. Ethos is achieved because I trust and believe the written word.

This full length essay is in google docs with access to you. Was unsure where you wanted this.

What I like about these 2 highlighted texts is that it appeals to ethos because I experienced these two statements. Ethos was achieved by what it says.

This line appeals to my Pethos as I consider it emotional to have "Mountain Biking" and "Depression" in the same sentences. It affects my emotions by making me think.

Again, ethos and Pathos is achieved because I know how it feels to feel this way.
