- bandwagon : a popular idea is correct
- "she didn't believe in... bigfoot but I told her... 'it was standing right infront of us'
- wishful thinking : something is true because i want it to be
- hasty generalization : a conclusion drawn from too small a sample of evidence
- "It was grayish-black in color and stood about 7 feet tall. I couldn't see the face very well because it was covered with hair"

ReplyDeleteHi Dior,
ReplyDeletethis is for the thesis comment. I looked at your outline and I really like the fallacies and premises you found. I think they are all logical and fit with the story. Your outline looks good, I know you have to fill stuff in but you have the right order, and you also seem like you have a good amount of arguments. I will be interested to see what your claim is and if you believe this story or not.
I think you also have a great start to your argument, although I think you could use more in your charts. However your article is barley even a paragraph so you don't have much to work with either. However you are on the right track. Since there isn't much here I am curious if that would discourage you to believe it. I think more detail could have enhanced this story and made it more believable. But the fact that they posted this thee day after they say it means they must know about big foot in the first place so maybe they were just seeing things
ReplyDeleteThesis Comment:
ReplyDeleteYou have a great start! You have already identified a few great examples of the P-OT elements from the chart. I clicked on your link and noticed your story was a bit short. I feel like your chart could use a few more devices from the chart through for your final product. So I would either comb through you story one more time to see if you can find more. You story is also very logical and not as fabricated with details compared to others on the website. This might be something to take into account when making your thesis statement. I'm curious what position you'll take. Good luck!
Hi Dior,
ReplyDeleteThis is for the thesis comment. When I just looked at this post I was a little worried on how you were going to pull it all together because your story is so short I thought you were going to have a hard time talking and presenting on your story. By the time I am commenting you posted your outline already and you really pulled it together. The outline looks amazing and you seemed to gather and present all your information really well. I am looking forward to actually hearing the presentation. Your story seems to be logical and does not have any "fluff" in which makes it different from so many reports that are on the sight. I am going to be interested on what direction you take your thesis because I think you can go either way. Any way I am excited to hear the final product next week.
Thesis comment: I agree with Devin and Kassandra on this one, I was worried when I saw how short the story actually was, but it looks as though you're going to tie it all together well! I'm very interested in if you're going to argue that this is a believable story or not!
