Keeley, 2013). It is a fallacy, Ad Hominem Fallacy, that Mr. Ravaswami attacks Ms. Forsythe by questing her motives concerning the leadership training program. He suggests that she may be eyeing his position in the company and secretly endorsing the Aspen Institute, which Ms. Forsythe had recommended to handle the program. In the memo, there is the Straw Person fallacy as the writer tries to influence his opponent’s point of view by attacking her. Moreover, the Glittering Generality Fallacy is…

Maya sat up in her cot. The rising sun shown brightly through the walls of the tent leaving a blue glow. She looked over to Kennedy’s cot. Empty. Old country music played from outside the tent. The beat of the banjo sounded like a muffled lullaby. A chilly breeze flew through the tent walls rustling the outside leaves. She shivered rubbing her bare arms. Maya stood up and walked over to the makeshift table, which was actually just a large rubber bin. She grabbed her black hiking jacket and threw…

Animal poaching is when an animal is killed illegally. This usually occurs when an animal possesses something that can be considered valuable such as its fur, ivory, or bones. Animal poaching has increased so much that at the beginning of the 20th century there were a few million African elephants and about 100,000 Asian elephants. However, there are now about about 450,000-700,000 African elephants and around 35,000-40,000 Asian elephants (“11 Facts About Poaching Animals,” n.d.). Upwards…

In every direction my eyes catches a glimpse in the trees, cattle pasturing on a side hill, and birds stirring through the aspen trees.
