An American Pathos: Autoethnography of a Life with MS

In this paper, I present the story of a woman afflicted with multiple sclerosis, describing the battles she fights, and her ultimate realization of a sense of success in her life as she endures the stages of epiphany, exploration, and transformation through her struggles. Thus, this tale is truly pathos in that it evokes an emotional response to persuade others that her narrative tells of an experience of life that is justly sad.
