Hello there MiNtANDrOsE !

Fallacy in simple words is 'misconception.' Fallacy is when people fail in reasoning or understanding the concept & hence argue undermining the logic of the argument.

For example , a person might say, "If I speak the truth everytime, I'll offend people." This can be made into a fallacy by saying, 'If I offend people then I'm speaking the truth." Of course, it's not true but people sometimes fail to understand it. This is usually known as a Commentator's fallacy (see the 1st picture). There are many other types of fallacies too, like situational & logical fallacy.

<u>2 examples of fallacies in social media are (see the 2nd & 3rd picture) :
</u>
■ Just because some people support the Republicans doesn't mean that they support the murder of children. There's a fallacy here.

■ In the next picture, it says that Cam Newton threw the touchdown only because Greg Olsen was injured. While Greg might be a good rival & competitor to Cam, there's no reason to why he wouldn't be able to throw a touchdown if Greg was there or not. So, there's a fallacy here too.

Answer:

I watched from the end of the garage as two kids walked to the workbench. “I hate your board, it's too small, the axles are loose and the wheels are horrible”, the girl said to the boy as he sheepishly handed the skateboard to her. The woman angrily tore through several drawers looking for something. “Yeah I'm honestly thinking about buying an entirely new board, that one is on its deathbed”, the boy said, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched her pull out a wrench. “That would be a good idea, your board is smaller than mine and your at least half a foot taller than me so might be time for an upgrade and plus the design looks like a five-year-old did it” she responded pointing to the back of the skateboard that was lying on the workbench. They both laughed as she began to tighten something on the board. “Hey! Don’t make it too tight I still wanna be able to move” he said looking anxiously as whatever she was tightening. She glanced at him and sarcastically said “Oh sorry I didn't know you were the expert, sure thing I'll just let u ride your crooked, wobbly board and fall off, no wonder you still can’t balance yet”. She flipped the board around and began tightening something on the other side. Suddenly another man walked into the garage. “What are you two working on,?” he asked walking over. “I’m tightening the axles on his board so he doesn't fall over” She said, not looking up from what she was doing. Suddenly she stopped and dropped the board to the floor and got on it leaning to test it. “There that's way better,” she said, getting off. Then the man stepped onto the board, wobbling all over the place before he fell and a loud clattering echoed through the garage. They all laughed before collecting the skateboard and walking out of the garage.

I didn't know how long it had to be so hopefully this is long enough, just a short story of the time my dad fell off my cousin's skateboard.

"The Crucible" is an allegory, a symbolic story with different layers of meaning. Different characters and elements from "The Cr

cupoosta [38]

We can combine the elements of "The Crucible" with the elements of Red Scare/McCarthyism as follows:

A. Witchcraft = 6. Communism
B. Abigail Williams = 4. Senator McCarthy
C. The Devil's Book = 1. Blacklist
D. Salem Courts = 2. HUAC
E. John Proctor = 3. Arthur Miller
F. Hysteria = 5. The Red Scare
G. The Forest = 8. The Soviet Union
H. Accused Witches = 7. Suspected Communists

We can arrive at this answer because:

Arthur Miller, the screenwriter of "The Crucible" wanted to write a story that represented the moment of collective madness that was manifesting in the USA, due to fear of communism.
This wave of dread and madness was established by Senator McCarthy who started a wave of accusations from people involved in communism in the same way that Abigail Williams accused people of accusing people of witchcraft in play.
People accused of communism, who were tried by HUAC, are represented by people accused of witchcraft, who were tried by Salem Courts.
The Soviet Union was considered the cradle of communism and in the play, the forest was considered the place where witches arose.
For this reason, people became hysterical in fear of communism, just as in play people became hysterical in fear of witchcraft.
People accused of being involved in communism went into a kind of blacklist, just like in the play, where people accused of witchcraft are believed to have their name in the devil's book.

Arthur Miller set himself up as a play character, played by John Proctor, who tried to report on the abuses caused by Abigail, but ended up being heavily punished.
