ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:
25,000 applied, 1,830 were accepted into training and only 1,074 earned their silver wings and, together with 28 WAFS, became WASP.
They paid their own way to go into training and, when disbanded, they paid their own way back home.
38 WASP and trainees were killed flying for their Country. They received no recognition, no honors, no benefits, no gold star in the window, and no American flag allowed to cover their coffins.
Classmates & friends took up collections to help pay for burial.WASP never received the military status they were promised, even though many were sent to Officer's Training School.WASP were unceremoniously deactivated in 1944 without benefits and little thanks.After they were disbanded in 1944, their records were sealed and marked 'classified' or 'secret' and stored in the archives for over 30 years.Historians had no access to the records and accomplishments of the WASP...so, the WASP were left out of most official histories of WWII.They were denied Veteran's status for 35 yearsTheir medals and official notification of Veteran's status came in the mail.WASP can only be buried at Arlington National Cemetery as 'enlisted', not with officer's honors.In 1994, an airplane at Lackland AFB was dedicated to the WASP and, in 1999, was repainted in the "Korean conflict' colors and re-dedicated to a Korean war hero.Despite General Hap Arnold's pledge that the Air Force 'would never forget them'--it did, and so did America

Answer:
- He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.
- One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.
Explanation:
The two sentences listed above characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is a person who strongly believes in irrational things (for example, a belief in magic). Common superstitions include:
- if you break a mirror, you will have bad luck for seven years
- if a black cat crosses your path, bad luck awaits you
- if you open an umbrella inside your house, you will have bad luck, etc.
Paul, in these sentences, is presented as someone who believes that broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed woman, number thirteen, or his hat on the bed announce that bad things will happen. All of these examples suggest that Paul is a superstitious person.
Answer:
hasty generalization
Explanation:
Fallacy can be defined as a mistaken or false belief that are based on illogical arguments or reasoning.
However, a lot of people might actually think it to be true but it isn't. There are various types of fallacy and these include; black or white, non sequitur, ad hominem, bandwagon, appeal to authority, straw man, and oversimplification or hasty generalization.
Given the following statement of fallacy;
"I have seen six people use Aloe Pot sunscreen since we arrived at the beach. It must be one of the better brands to use."
Thus, this is Hasty Generalization Fallacy because it isn't logically justified by enough empirical evidence.
Hasty generalization is a type of fallacy that involves making a claim or reaching a conclusion based on very little evidence or instances of an event.

An example of a very effective villain who stands against the protagonists is Count Olaf from the book series <em>A Series of Unfortunate Events</em>. This series follows the life of the Baudelaire orphans. After both their parents die in a fire, they are sent to their new guardian, a man named Count Olaf. However, Olaf has no interest in caring for them. In fact, he only wants to take advantage of them in order to get their fortune.
The reason why Count Olaf is a good villain is because he contrasts the heroes in several ways. For example, while the heroes care about their family and friends deeply, Count Olaf is selfish and only cares about himself. This is demonstrated by the fact that Count Olaf does not have friends. He only has henchmen. Another reason is the fact that Count Olaf cares a lot about money, while money is not an important concern to the orphan children. Finally, Count Olaf is willing to commit terrible crimes and deeds in order to achieve what he wants, while the children are moral and responsible.
In conclusion, Count Olaf is a remarkable villain because he contrasts with the heroes, who are the Baudelaire orphans. Some of the ways in which he does so is by caring about himself and money more than he cares about anything else, as well as having very loose morals.
