Writing Homework Help

Read chapter 5 in Everything’s an Argument, which describe a number of Logical Fallacies.  Choose four of the fallacies and write at least three paragraphs on each.  Define what each term means using both the description in the book and your own words. Then give at least two clear examples of that fallacy.  You can use some personal examples, but I would prefer that you draw from the business and political world, items from history and current events.  This paper is an analysis of how these various fallacies are used in argumentation and despite the fact that they are fallacious, you should describe how they could be effective in persuading people.  Please use the MLA format and cite all your sources with a Works Cited page.
