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.

Write a letter about your life. Please I don t know what to write. I don t want TIPS.

Xelga [282]

Dear myandmother123,

a lot has happened since the last time that I saw you and it's quite a long story so I hope you have found somewhere comfy to sit. :)

So as you know I moved to a little town called Kearny and I started going to school, but I kind of forgot to write you since my life was so hectic that first year there... 8th grade was wonderful and boring and horrible! I blacked-out and hurt someone when they used the wrong name too many times, full-on screamed at a teacher until my foster sister pulled me away to our next class, fought with my arts teacher way too many times, I won a bunch of awards for my art and my grades, I learned that I could sing well enough to get into an honor choir, I rekindled my love of reading, almost made a friend, and testified in court for the first time(which was really scary).

Then I get to high school... I went to like all the dances! I dated a couple of very kind and caring guys, but in the end, broke their hearts with my brokenness. :( I got into two more honor choirs, as well as theater(but I didn't get to perform because clumsy me got stitches). I made some amazing friends, lost my foster sister that had helped me in 8th grade, and won my court case! but then I moved away... so now I'm nowhere near anything I've ever known, but I've had a bit of time to adapt to the weather here, and I plan to write you more often. :)

Well, that's all for now.

Bye!
