* Appealing to his sense of family and shared humanity: She tells him she recognizes him as one of her own "children" and insists that he wouldn't harm a lady.
* Trying to invoke religious guilt: She mentions her "Christian" beliefs and suggests he might be a "good man" at heart.
* Making a personal connection: She asks him to "think about his mother" and reminds him that she was a good woman.
* Begging for mercy: She pleads with him to "please don't shoot" and calls him "one of my own children."
