Both museums displayed objects showing different types of broken relationships like stuffed animals, letters, texts, etc.

Words like "end of love", "depressed", or "emotional value" help describe her diction as being understood by a select few who has been through broken relationships and have special values towards objects from those relationships. Those kinds of diction words Sayej display how people that have felt this pain are able to understand what the article talks about and what the museum is all about. This possible shows how the author might have an emotional connection towards this topic and might have also experienced a broken relationship before. Rhetorical devices that Sayej appeals to in her article is pathos and uses complex and simple sentence syntax. In her article, Sayej talks about where the idea of the Los Angles museum came from and what the museum is about. The museum holds many object on display that depict relationships either about family, friends or partners that ended and hold a symbolic value about that relationship. It appeals to pathos because the author wants to reader to experience an emotional attachment to each of the examples and the museum itself because everyone has gone through rough relationships in their lifetime.
