What are rhetorical strategies (pathos, ethos, logos) in To Kill A Mockingbird?

In Harper Lee's novel, she utilizes lots of pathos. Many people sympathize with Tom Robinson when he was unfaily accused and when he was shot to death while trying to escape his sad fate. Also, there is bildungsroman genre in there since the audience watches as Scout learns and grows up. Scout's tomboyish nature makes her be able to beat up boys, which is displayed by Lee's usage of irony, parody, and satire. Finally, there is ceratinly a great amount of local color in the novel when Lee uses the language of the south and description of the southern settings.
