Answer:

Straw man fallacy.

Explanation:

Fallacy is the use of wrong or invalid argument in the construction of any reasoning to make one's point. It typically involves the use of faulty arguments, which neither is correct nor valid.

Straw man fallacy is the form of fallacy wherein the person giving the argument is basing his points in a such a way that he seems to be refuting his opponent's points. But in reality, he is just refuting an argument that is not even presented by the opponent. In short, he is refuting an argument that is baseless or invisible. It 's like attacking a "straw man", useless and pointless.

From the excerpt, we see the speaker is in favor of hanging the man. While it may be that this "Jones" may have argued for a trial for the accused. The issue of hanging wasn't part of the argument, and not even mentioned. But the speaker is asking for that, thus bringing into the fore the issue of 'hanging' which wasn't even spoken or discussed about.

In at least 2 paragraphs of more than 4 sentences each, discuss your idea of what makes someone a hero. This doesn’t have to be
Anika [276]

A hero is a person who is held in high regard or glorified for his or her bravery, accomplishments or dignified values. In my opinion, both Don Quixote and King Arthur are indeed heroes, since they are corageous noblemen who achieve significant successful acts. First, Don Quixote is a poor horseman who believes himself to be an aristocratic knight. Motivated by an honorable willingness to do good deeds, he looks for helping the unfortunate and those who are in trouble. Thus, he engages in a number of entertaining misadventures.

On the other hand, King Arthur is a legendary character who fights Saxons invaders. As a result, he helps to establish the British Empire. He also encourages knighthood, so in his Round Table he only accepts brave, reputable noblemen who love their country and respect everyone. For all these reasons I think both Don Quixote and King Arthur are heroes who represent the ideal gentlemen. They are distinguished men of noble birth, willing to perform fair achievements to do justice.

Why was the wife of bath married 5 times in the Canterbury tales
Alex

The Wife of Bath begins her description of her two “bad” husbands. Her fourth husband, whom she married when still young, was a reveler, and he had a “paramour,” or mistress (454). Remembering her wild youth, she becomes wistful as she describes the dancing and singing in which she and her fourth husband used to indulge. Her nostalgia reminds her of how old she has become, but she says that she pays her loss of beauty no mind. She will try to be merry, for, though she has lost her “flour,” she will try to sell the “bran” that remains. Realizing that she has digressed, she returns to the story of her fourth husband. She confesses that she was his purgatory on Earth, always trying to make him jealous. He died while she was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
