Walker – Outline
Perelman’s
Rhetoric of Argument
-
Supposed
Facts/Truths: not much data seems unlikely but can be true
-
Premise
modifiers/interpretation/interpretive schemes: Limit the context of
interpretation to gain control
Fallacy:
Black
or White – false dilemma that asserts an untrue “either – or” or forced choice
Hasty
Generalization – a conclusion is drawn from too small a sample of evidence
Accent
– the way you emphasize a word makes the conclusion seem more true
Argument:
The Beach
Walker is supported with little evidence which allows the viewer to come to the
conclusion that most likely the creature has never once existed, but if you
really really…really think about it, there could be a slight chance the
creature could be alive. The evidence
given is practical. Its evidence is all
true and real things. The fact that they
specifically use the hasty generalization to their advantage gives the user a
somewhat idea that the creature can be true.
Giving blunt and real evidence gives the perception that the Beach
Walker can be walking on the Iceland beach as we speak, feeding on lonely
pregnant woman…(okay that sounds a little scary).
