Thank You for Arguing

I always enjoy reading from Thank You for Arguing. There were some lines within the reading that even made me laugh. Every time I read from this book, I notice the passion Jay Heinrichs possesses for rhetoric. Within these chapters, Jay Heinrichs discusses many examples of common fallacies. Personally, this helps me connect with the reading. For example, I’m sure we have all heard the fallacy regarding that a child needs to eat everything on their plate because there are other children who are not fortunate enough to receive a meal each time they are hungry. Fortunately, my parents never used this fallacy on me. However, I will admit this fallacy is persuasive and does work on children.
