This is an example of a non sequitur logical fallacy. Fallacies are understood as mistaken beliefs which are based upon unsound arguments. They can either be formal or informal.

Formal fallacies are deductive and happen when the conclusion does not follow the premise and informal fallacies are inductive and are mainly identified through supporting evidence.

There is subtype of formal fallacies called "non sequiturs" which refers to fallacies wherein someone reaches a conclusion that does not follow the prepositions.

1) It rained today

2) My car didn't start

3) My car didn't start because the rain broke my car

Perhaps your car didn't start because it is old, because it ran out of battery.  There are millions of reasons tha have nothing to do with that day's climate.

Q: What is the valley of ashes in the great Gatsby

<em>Whoaaa! You're reading The Great Gatsby? That's literally the best book I've read in English class! You should definitely watch the movie when you have time because 1. It helped me out on my test and 2. It was so good!</em>

<em />

<em>Alright, enough of the jibber jabbering... let me answer your question.  </em>

<em />

<em>The Valley of Ashes is a farm where ashes grow like wheat into hills, ridges, and even gardens. It's very desolate and empty, marking the intersection of the city with the suburbs. It's between the East and West Egg and is created by the dumping of industrial waste. It symbolizes the moral and social decay, as well as the carefree pursuit of wealth, since the rich do as they please and don't care about anything else besides their own pleasure.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helped you out!</em>

Natali [406]

  • Tone
<h3>What is Nuance?</h3>

This refers to the slight difference that exists between a word and its meaning as used in a text,

Hence, we can see that when making a text analysis about the nuances in a text, the connotation and tone are important because one is the implied meaning of a word, and the latter is the writer's attitude to a text.

How does Anna’s mother decision to make a quilt affect future events in history
Pavel [41]

Answer:  The correct answer is: The author metaphorically describes quilts as weapons against strong winds in January. And she writes to remember and reimagine stories about her and her family. The author tries to give life to the quilt. She describes the daily routine of waking up under a quilt of many colors, the speaker begins to remember how the quilt felt since the sense of touch is very important for memory, uses the word faces to describe each fabric frame. The quilt had pieces of cloth that had a nostalgic meaning as first communion dresses, wedding dresses and sleepwear among others, the movement of the needle when sewing reminded the speaker of a galloping horse, each piece of cloth that the mother joins brings a different memory to the speaker. The mother cut each piece of cloth thinking of colors that combined and were according to some memory such as holidays, Corpus Christi, the seasons, the day of her wedding, but also brought back sad moments and therefore added a piece of dressed in a funeral and turned it into a black star. The conclusion is that what holds together all these pieces of cloth that represent various memories is love.
