Today in Mr.Rease’s American Literature class we went over hasty generalizations. A hasty generalization is an assumption made on one group based on an inadequate sample. An example of a hasty generalization is that football players are academically challenged. Hasty generalizations are not good when arguing. A slippery slope isn’t good when arguing as well. Slippery slope is making a conclusion from something but not having enough evidence. We learned what not to use during arguing.
Today in Mr.Rease’s 4th period American Literature class we learned about informal and formal texts. In class he gave us a passage with no context, we just read it. After we read it we all realized that there wasn’t really any theme or moral of the story. He then gave us a topic, which half of the class had already figured out midway through the passage. That was interesting to me because I didn’t get it until the prompt, which says a lot about myself. It was pretty fun breaking down the passage with the 2 different prompts. I’m glad I had a little nice time in 4th period today.
