1/10/2020

Today was a very good and exciting day. In class we continued our lesson on Fallacies and how to spot them in writings. We looked at a passage in a book and it showed many examples of the different fallacies and used different names. The different names confuse me a bit but once we actually broke down the concept I realized it was the same as what we had learned yesterday. We also learned a life lesson and that was very helpful. Being that we are in an AP Language class but able to discuss other topics was cool. We discussed how to find fallacies in contracts and when we are at the doctors office. We also had a debate about who has the best chicken, Zaxbys, Foosacklys, or Cains. This may seem weird but it actually taught us about spotting fallacies in arguments. All companies had good chicken and just marketed differently. The employees of each company was unable to give a good argument because they had fallacies in their arguments. They also weren’t creditable due to their biases since they worked there.
