Read the fable and determine its theme. In a paragraph of three to five sentences, use evidence from the story to support your i

dentified theme.
A Shepherd Boy was tending his flock near a village, and thought it would be great fun to hoax the villagers by pretending that a Wolf was attacking the sheep. So, he shouted out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when the people came running up he laughed at them for their pains. He did this more than once, and every time the villagers found they had been hoaxed, for there was no Wolf at all. At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help.

The theme of this excerpt is that a boy is joking around and when the time came to actually cry out wolf, no one listened. " At last a Wolf really did come, and the Boy cried, "Wolf! Wolf!" as loud as he could, but the people were so used to hearing him call that they took no notice of his cries for help." This quote from the story explains how the bots misbehaving got him no where but being ignored.

What logical fallacies do these statement embody?
melamori03 [73]

Logical fallacies are arguments in a statement that are usually not based on a critical logic/knowledge about a specific situation/topic/circumstance. They need to be avoided for making our statement rightly put out in front of others.

Explanation:

  • “The government shouldn’t murder people who murder other people.” - here, the fallacy(mistake) is an opinion of a citizen or a layman cannot be considered as a law, unless and until conferred and studied upon when it involves political knowledge.
  • “If you can’t prove that I am lying then I must be telling the truth.” - here, with a point of view or perspective of a person who believes in certain aspects of personality traits that show cannot be true every time.
  • “My teacher didn’t take into account that I had a rough morning and that’s why I failed the exam. I should get another chance to take the test.” - here, again, when we look into a single student's excuse or reason, it is not right as per a teacher's guidelines. There are certain norms to be followed by every individual.
  • “Every time I sit down on my couch to watch the game, my team wins. I have to watch the game on the couch for my team to win.” - here, it is a perspective versus reality scenario. It might have been true for more than twice, but it does not really make any sense or give us a guarantee.
  • “Legalized abortion is a step to having an anti-life, murderous society.” - Here, it is an opinion of, may be, 40% of individuals around the world. It cannot be right only because few activists have taken these answers in to account.
  • "If all of your friends jump off of a bridge, than will you jump off?” - here, it is a sarcastic approach over talking or communicating about the level of stupidity a person can act with but not a realistic argument.
