This week we'll be focusing exclusively on fallacies. I'd like you to read each of the following essays and in a blog entry identify as many fallacies as you can. You should have completed at least one by Friday. The rest are due Monday.
Listen and read this speech by Gandhi.
Read this speech by Winston Churchill.
Finally, listen and read George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant".
You might want to think about what these speakers have in common, what they disagree about, what they most fear. (Wow - did you peep this parallel structure?)
