A syllogism is a type of logical argument. It consists of three parts: <span>1) Major Premise </span> <span>2) Minor Premise </span> <span>3) Conclusion </span>
<span>Example (weak argument): </span> <span>All blondes are empty-headed </span> <span>S is a blonde </span> <span>Therefore S is empty-headed </span>
<span>Example (strong argument): </span> <span>All unmarried men are bachelors </span> <span>S is an unmarried man </span> <span>Therefore S is a bachelor. </span>
<span>Use in a sentence: </span> <span>X's argument was unpersuasive as it was based on the use of faulty (or weak) syllogism</span>
The Radley house is very eerie and creepy, and the only description that is given to the reader is one through a child's eyes (the narrator Scout). It is a pretty juvenile, biased opinion of the house if you ask me.
