Rationale:
I chose this daybook entry because I learned the difference between logical arguments and fallacies.
Logical arguments are arguments that make the most sense and are based on facts. Fallacies are
statements that can be true, but have several missing facts to make it logical. I enjoyed doing this
assignment because I didnt know there were so many fallacies and the meaning behind them. I learned
more than I expected from this assignment.
