2. What type of fallacy is represented by the passage below?

English
1 answer:
VikaD [51]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Ad hominem attack

Explanation:

A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.

Ad hominem (literally translated as <em>to the person</em>) is a type of logical fallacy in which a person criticizes or attacks another person, rather than what they are saying. Here, the speaker doesn't critize the mentioned poem. They don't give explanations about why the poem is not good. They simply attack the writer, stating that they are a sick and morbid person. That is not a valid reason as to why someone shouldn't read a poem.

Look at the play's final passage, where Thoreau compares his return to society as a cruise on the open ocean. Explain why Thorea
pav-90 [236]
Based on the play, Thoreau compares his return to society as a cruise on the open ocean because he considers it as hiding out or escaping the form of the life in the society by confronting or engaging to it directly. It was not easy for him as <span>he went to the woods to live deliberately and not discover at life's end that he had NOT lived at all. Thoreau feels that he should no longer try to escape the world by hiding out in Walden pond as he discovered from this life he chose, and he had not lived at all. Escaping did not give him the life that he expected it to be.</span>
