A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is. Some fallacies are committed intentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception, while others are committed unintentionally due to carelessness or ignorance. Lawyers acknowledge that the extent to which an argument is sound or unsound depends on the context in which the argument is made.

Fallacies are commonly divided into "formal" and "informal". A formal fallacy can be expressed neatly in a standard system of logic, such as propositional logic while an informal fallacy originates in an error in reasoning other than an improper logical form. Arguments containing informal fallacies may be formally valid, but still fallacious.

amongst all the villagers who wielded powers of wind and fire, Alexandria possessed the gift of ice and water. Such a rare gift to be had, it was quite unusual for such a power to be had in a realm that was forged from stone and Earth.

How is literary nonfiction unique from other types of nonfiction?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
Literary nonfiction is the closest thing to a written document. Take for example you were in the Renaissance era, where new art, and theries, and styles were being developed. You, a young novelist, were to write about what you saw. This written piece that you've written can be used to change history. How? Because you can write about, how it was developed, how it was created, the smaller details that we overlook.

Try and picture yourself now. You see a new historic site being built. And you wrote about it. 200 years into the future an architecture found what you wrote and used it to help change the style of future buildings.

Bottom line... it helps change, impact and inform us of what we weren't able to see. 

Make sense?<span />
