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.

How did desdemona and othello meet
Doss [256]

Answer: Brabantio often invited Othello to his house, where he met Desdemona, and they fell in love.

Explanation:

Othello is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare. It is a story about a powerful general of the Venetian army who is utterly betrayed by his deceitful friend, Iago.

In Act I, Scene III, Desdemona's father, Brabantio, argues she has been stolen from him by spells. The duke thus demands that Othello tells the whole story about his marriage to Desdemona. Othello admits that they got married, but insists that he did not use magic to persuade her to be with him. On this occasion, Othello explains that Brabantio invited him to his house, where they discussed his battle stories and journeys outside the civilized world. Desdemona overheard those stories, and wanted Othello to retell them to her. Impressed by what he had to say, Desdemona fell in love with Othello.

Of What Value Is It If You Have Windows But You Do Not Have Any Light At All ? Explain this Metaphorically
denis-greek [22]
Examine this as light that would come in and light that would go out. The transparency of windows, the ability to see through windows, is the purpose of windows in this statement, allowing something to go in and out. What is the light in you? Now with this part of the statement, it is then expressing the metaphor as a direction from inside of someone to the outside. So it some one has a window, the ability or platform to say things and have people listen, what is the value if the person only speaks of hate and violent things. What value is there to listening to someone who speaks of these things through their "window"?

Let's consider the windows as opportunities to positively influence other people. An excellent situation would be a teacher. The have the "window", the class time to use effectively and beneficially for the students who are in the class. But what if the teacher only wants to pass the time and get through the class, not really imparting any knowledge, or being to lazy or indifferent or not caring. A window - the classroom, but no passion nor energy or light.

This example I believe best illustrates what it means to have a window, but no light.
