Read the following excerpt from Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavares County," and answer the quest

ion that follows.
Smiley ketched a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'klated to edercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut--see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat.

Answer:

Explanation:

flat footed is OK. If you are flat footed (no arch), the army will classify you as 4F.

Whirling: airplane propellers whirl. This a common enough word

Punch: means a drink or being hit.

The word that is a dialect is edercate. It appears nowhere that I know of. It is used in this excerpt to mean educate.

Analyze the use of fallacies in the opening scene of thank you for smoking
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A fallacy can best be defined as a false or a mistaken idea, or the use of faulty reasoning. "Thank you for smoking" movie, has some fallacies in it i will be discussing below.

Explanation:

The first fallacy i noticed in "Thank you for smoking" is when  Nick Naylor's son's mother's boyfriend tells Nick "I hope you are providing Joey with a smoke-free environment." and Nick replies "I'm his father, you're just the guy_his mother." This is a negative statement as Nick attacked Polly's boyfriend personally because He is not the real parent of Joey, which is a good example of Ad Hominem.

This film is a dark comedy. Nick Naylor who is a successful lobbyist, has sense of logos in his arguments and this logos is centered primarily on logical fallacies
