There are many themes explored in the film. Some of the themes are of losing one's innocence and ending childhood. These themes are developed through the use of the literary elements: pathetic fallacy, symbolism, and antecedent action.

Lawrence also uses ‘Pathetic Fallacy’ as he describes a cold winter’s day when the relationship
Hamlet himself was somewhat thinner, I thought; but he had also mellowed considerably; he was rather less cynical and a little more tolerant than he had been. Polonius was definitely more senile than before. Ophelia was less silly, and more of a pathetic figure than ever. Laertes was exactly the same: that sort of young man does not change; but Osrichad distinctly grown up. The Queen was a little fatter; and the King's teeth seemed to me to be needing attention. These were the principal changes

the conclusion does not go along with the premises. An informal fallacy is a mistake in reasoning that occurs in ordinary language and is different from an error in the form or structure of arguments. There are three categories of informal fallacy; fallacies of relevance, fallacies of unwarranted assumption, and fallacy of ambiguity.

In the movie “Thank you for smoking,” Naylor employs various fallacies to demonstrate how arguments can distract an audience from their original values, beliefs and concerns. A common fallacy used by Mr. Naylor in the movie is the red herring fallacy. Here, the debater deliberately throws a discussion off course and create a different vision of the original topic.

While proper use of rhetoric would result in the author using logos or logic to support his arguments; the article uses logical fallacies instead of logic to support the argument.

Logical Fallacies in Real Life In today’s society, fallacies are all around us either in politics, television, radio or even picking up an old fashion newspaper.

He clearly states his position and explains that gun violence has increased enormously because of the lack of command by the government and support from the public to speak out against it. O’Mara claims the issue is no longer a debate because it is so evident that guns have become
Fallacies The use of critical thinking requires one to understand how to comprehend an argument. Part of this comprehension includes the ability to recognize a logical fallacy in an argument. The understanding of logical fallacies will help one become a better critical thinker by enabling them to break apart an argument from an opponent and debate the argument by pointing out the flaws. In this paper I will be discussing the Straw Man fallacy, the Red Herring Fallacy, and the Weak Analogy fallacy
my choice alone. However, after careful consideration and lectures I have been reversed in how I believe in free will. Is there any free will though? Many people would say yes there is and of course there are some who believe that free will is a fallacy and not to be believed. Whether or not there is free will is yet to be determined but what we have to go on and by is from philosophers and every person who has their two cents to fill in.
