Answer:

straw man

Explanation:

This passage presents a straw man fallacy that is an argument in which the person ignores the position of the opponent in the debate and replaces it with a distorted version that represents this position in a wrong way.

In this passage the speaker shows a distorted version of what Senator O'Reilly. The senator said that people needed to "support the initiative of channeling more money into schools," but the speaker distorts that argument by saying that the senator does not care "about the children of our state and their future."

The term fallacy derives from the Latin verb fallere, which means to deceive. A false reasoning with the appearance of truth is called a fallacy. In logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is a logically incoherent, baseless, invalid, or flawed argument in the attempt to effectively prove what it claims.

Someone plz help me create a short myth story!!
salantis [7]

Answer:

I look around and hear the distant ringing of ambulances and the smell of smoke. I sit up and feel the burning of scars on my arms and the feeling of blood around me. I try to recall what happened but the only thing I remember is the earthquake and the screams from my mom. I stand up and see that I’m in some type of woods. I start walking around and see that I have no clue where I am. I walk for another 39 mins maybe and see some type of little boy. As I get closer I see my little brother and everything starts to make sense. My name is Aegean Blue. Weird name you may say but my mother always named me and my siblings after colors. My oldest brother is Sage green, my older sister is Penny brown, my middle sister is porpoise grey, and the twin boys are obsidian black and Lapis blue. Back to the current situation and I see my little brother Lapis sitting under a tree holding his wrists.

“Lapis?” He looks up and slams me into a bone crushing hug.

“What happened?”

What had happened? I know there was an earthquake question about how we ended up in the woods.

“C’mon bud, let's try to wrap up your wrists.”

I looked around and saw a huge tall leaf and grabbed it to try and make a bandage. After I wrapped it I found a stick and punctured it through to make it sort of like a hook.

“Aegean, are we okay?.”

I take a deep breath and say:

“We will be little dude.”

I grab his hand and start walking down a trail in the middle of the woods. I hope that this leads us somewhere poetically. We keep walking when all of a sudden we hear something falling to see a building falling down and debris heading our direction. I pick up Lapis and start running to take cover. We hid behind a rock and saw debris crashing.

“Lapis stays down okay? I don’t want you to get hurt.”

He holds me closer and says “But you could get hurt?.”

I turn to him and say “I will be fine, stay down.”

We both keep down until ten minutes later we hear nothing. I got up and saw cement blocks, glass, and pieces of painted wood. “What are we going to do?” I turn to him and say “We are gonna try to survive.” First things first we need to find food. I figure at some point this forest or woods leads us out eventually. I looked around and saw a bunch of trees, leaves, and the smell of dirt. I try to put together the piece of what happened but so far all I have is an earthquake happened, my mom screaming and that’s it. I don’t know how we got in the woods or how we got separated. I’m pulled out of my thoughts like my little brother pulling at my Nike crewneck.

He points to an old gas station and it looks like it hasn’t been used in years. I turn to my brother and say

“Here let’s make a deal I’ll go in and you stand outside and if I whistle I am in trouble okay?”

He nods and I head inside and hear the chime of the gas station door. I look around and see machines broken, the floor cracked, and the chips scattered around everywhere. I look around and see no one there and grab a bunch of snacks. I quickly head to the front of the store to see Lapis standing there looking in the distance.

“I got us food.” He jumps up and quickly thanks me to open the bag of food and starts eating.

“Well now that we got food what do we do now sis?”

“Well now we need to find shelter. I assume there is a place or at least somewhere we can lay for the night.”

I hope this is what you mean!!!!!!! It won't let me finish it off so give me your e  mail or something and I'll send you the rest!
