what is a logical fallacy you encounter in real life? quote the comment involving the logical fallacy, identify its source and then explain what sort of logical fallacy it is and why.​

Answer:

during a debate round(the topic being debated was a federal job guarantee, and i was debating against it), part of my evidence was about politicians using the job guarantee system to push their political agendas, and i gave the example of trump and his wall (specifically that a job guarantee would allow him to hire people to build it, and they wouldn't have much choice other than unemployment). this was important because my point was basically that politics shouldn't be where the do not need to be. my opponent said "would you agree that some things that politicians do or want to do are good? for example, bernie sanders wanting to raise the minimum wage?" (I said yes because in my opinion the min. wage should be higher) then he said "so that strikes down your contention because you agreed that certain political agendas are good and beneficial"(not the exact words but this was several weeks ago so i can't remember it word for word)

i can't remember the name of the type of logical fallacy, but will describe it. He misinterpreted/twisted my point and what i was saying. I clarified with him that although i did agree with his question, that was only my opinion and my views, and that there are many people who would disagree with me on that matter. i then told him that my point was that politics should not be where they don't belong, which in this case was the lives and jobs of people (obviously not politicians in this case) and that a jobs guarantee would cause exactly that to happen. he still said later that because i agreed that some political agendas are good, my point did not stand.

Basically, he sort of twisted what i was saying, and made a false claim based on that.

***(for slight background i do lincoln-douglas style debate. there is also public forum style, and policy style debate.) also in this same debate round, i asked him a question (i asked if he knew if people in the jobs guarantee program would be able to choose their job) and he responds "ThIs is NoT a PoLiCy DeBaTe, So I dOn'T tHinK tHaT qUeSTioN is ReLeVAnT" (in my head i had a response but i didn't think the words 'no duh' would get me anywhere). First of all, he had no reason to say that because all it did was waste my time. Second, that was completely irrelevant to anything were talking about. Third, it did not answer my question. (also it seemed a little bit rude or almost passive-aggressive in a way) I'm pretty sure this was like a red-herring type thing

Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms.

Outside it was getting dark. I asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. I went back to the drivers. They were sitting in the dugout talking and when I came in they stopped. I gave them each a package of cigarettes, Macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before you smoked them. Manera lit his lighter and passed it around.

What about the actions of these men exemplifies them as Hemingway heroes?
They talk about the oncoming attack, clearly with a deep sense of worry for their own safety and the safety of others.
They have not yet lived through a battle and are naive about the imminent danger that awaits them.
They have the bond only men in battle can share, and this is related by the way they partake of the cigarettes.
They act casually and go about regular business, such as smoking, while actually in grave danger.

HELP PLZZZZ Read the following excerpt from the story. Which term most accurately describes the writer’s tone. (a very old man with enormous wings)

But Father Gonzaga, before becoming a priest, had been a robust woodcutter. Standing by the wire, he reviewed his catechism in an instant and asked them to open the door so that he could take a close look at that pitiful man who looked more like a huge decrepit hen among the fascinated chickens. He was lying in the corner drying his open wings in the sunlight among the fruit peels and breakfast leftovers that the early risers had thrown him. Alien to the impertinences of the world, he only lifted his antiquarian eyes and murmured something in his dialect when Father Gonzaga went into the chicken coop and said good morning to him in Latin. The parish priest had his first suspicion of an imposter when he saw that he did not understand the language of God or know how to greet His ministers. Then he noticed that seen close up he was much too human: he had an unbearable smell of the outdoors, the back side of his wings was strewn with parasites and his main feathers had been mistreated by terrestrial winds, and nothing about him measured up to the proud dignity of angels.

Question 3 options:

a) Humorous


c) Informative


d) Solemn

Give Us Our Peace

Give us a peace equal to the war
Or else our souls will be unsatisfied,
And we will wonder what we have fought for
And why the many died.

Give us a peace accepting every challenge—
The challenge of the poor, the black, of all denied,
The challenge of the vast colonial world
That long has had so little justice by its side.

Give us a peace that dares us to be wise.
Give us a peace that dares us to be strong.
Give us a peace that dares us still uphold
Throughout the peace our battle against wrong.

Give us a peace that is not cheaply used,
A peace that is no clever scheme,
A people’s peace for which men can enthuse,
A peace that brings reality to our dream.

Give us a peace that will produce great schools—
As the war produced great armament,
A peace that will wipe out our slums—
As war wiped out our foes on evil bent.

Give us a peace that will enlist
A mighty army serving human kind,
Not just an army geared to kill,
But trained to help the living mind—
An army trained to shape our common good
And bring about a world of brotherhood.

—Langston Hughes
from The Chicago Defender, August 25, 1945

What should happen next in my story after this?
Seth’s POV:

I’m really not sure why I invited her here. Was it because of the bet or did I actually what to hang out with her? Was it just because my parents were arguing again and I needed to get out? What the heck.. of course it’s because of the bet and maybe because I wanted to get away from my parents. She is not fun and super rude. I’d never want to hang out with her on my own. This is definitely for the bet. All that laughter and ‘fun’ was totally fake. She’s still an annoying spoiled brat.. right? I really don’t know how to see her anymore because right now she looks really adorable feeding the ducks. She has a big smile on her face and she generally looks really happy. Happy suits her. What am I even saying? This is kinda bad, I’m actually having... fun. I even almost told her about my parents fighting.. she definitely can not know about that. She wouldn’t understand. While I’m deep in thought, I notice her dump the rest of the bag of bread crumbs in the pond and giggle. I like when she laughs. Wait, no I don’t. “Pretty boy! Dump the rest of your crumbs to the ducks!” I smile and do as she says. “My name is Seth. You can stop calling me pretty boy.” She looks at me with a grin and says, “You know, I think I like pretty boy better.” She laughs and I glare at her. That’s what I said to her earlier when Ava told me her name. “Well, I guess I am pretty.” I say in a confident tone. She looks at me and responds, “Not even close.” I glare at her some more. She’s definitely still mean and bratty. “Aww, did I make you mad?” She asks in a mocking tone. Of course she did but I’m not admitting that to her. I walk towards her and she stops laughing and asks, “What are you doing?” I grin at her secretly knowing that she’s going to hate me even more after I do this. I walk even closer and push her into the pond. She screams and she hits the water and is completely soaked. “Oh my gosh! What is wrong with you?! I hate you!” She screams at me but I’m too busy laughing to pay attention. The next thing I know, I’m in the pond too. She grabbed my leg and pulled me in. I should have seen that coming. Now she’s dying of laughter. “I can’t believe you just did that!” I say to her. She starts laughing again and through her laughter says, “Oh come on! You totally deserved that!” I smile and say, “I guess I did.” She giggles. That annoyingly adorable laugh she has is driving me crazy. “We should go, it’s getting late.” I say to her. “Yeah, probably.” She replies. We crawl out of the pond and we are drenched. “We are really wet, won’t your parents get mad if you ruin the car?” How does she know my parents still come to my place? Does she know about my family issues? Did she hear them fighting through the phone call? “Why are you talking about my parents? That’s none of your business and if you must know, the car is mine.” I snap at her. I hear her mumble, “And you call me a brat.” “Whatever, get in the car sunflower.” The wetness won’t bother my car, after all, it’s just water. It will dry. The whole way back to sunflower’s place is pretty quiet. None of us say a word. Finally, I pull up to her house and park the car. She gets out and I say, “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow sunflower.” “Yeah, see ya pretty boy.” She closes the car door and I watch her as she walks into her apartment.

what is the climax to the wishbone valley

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction, "When I hear you give your reasons." I
remarked, "the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of
your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours."
"Quite so," he answered. (...
) throwing himself down into an armchair. "You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For
example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room."
"Frequently."
"How often?"
"Well, some hundreds of times."
"Then how many are there?"
"How many? I don't know."
"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I
have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronide one or
two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this." He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted notepaper which had been lying open
upon the table. "It came by the last post." said he. "Read it aloud."
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
