argument. This logical fallacy is called

c. Faulty logic
d. Supported facts
1 Logical Fallacies
Let’s Recall
1. Logic is the use and study of valid reasoning while a faulty logic describes poor
reasoning, such as the use of fallacious arguments like personal (ad hominem)
attacks, irrelevancies, analogies. Writers and speakers should avoid logical fallacies
because they are errors in reasoning, they often lead to false conclusions.
Example, “I loved that movie we saw last night with Brad Pitt. I am going to rent all
of his movies, and I am sure I’ll like all of them.” (It is an imperfect judgment (or
faulty logic!) to assume that you will love all Brad Pitt movies just because you loved
one.
2. Facts are those things that have occurred. However, unsupported facts are
those facts claimed by an individual or a group of individuals that have occurred but
were unable to provide enough evidence to support their claim.
Example, “People who live in the North of Britain are friendlier than those who live
in the South.”
Example, A college student asks his professor to accept a late paper: "I've worked all
weekend on this report. I know that it is past your deadline, but I have to work full-
time while also attending college."

It is important to know if something is a faulty logic, unsupported fact or an
emotional appeal. You should decide whether it is something to believe or not. In
everything you do and say you must be wise.
Let’s Elaborate
a. faulty logic
b. unsupported facts
c. emotional appeal
Let’s Remember
Faulty logic occurs when you use words with connotations that make a false
connection between a person or an idea and the words connotation, whether it is
positive or negative.

Interpreting Posters
Communication is enhanced when visual aids are used. Nowadays, technology has
led to explosive growth in the use of images to communicate and understand the
world around us. It’s important to pair the correct visual aid with the type of
information presented.
A poster is one type of visual aid that is commonly used, it is piece of printed paper
designed to be attached to a wall or vertical surface. Typically, posters include both
textual and graphic elements, although a poster may be either wholly graphical or
wholly text.
Here is an example,
https://yli.org/event/2019-youth-leadership-conference/
What is the poster all about? What is in the poster that would make you
decide to join the conference?
Let’s Explore
The main function of a poster is to capture a moving audience with a message.
In order to understand and appreciate posters, you must make observations for the
purpose of interpretation; which means that you must make an explanation or
translation between the object and the meaning. Observation is necessary to
understand and appreciate the message to be conveyed through the visual that is
used in posters. Designers use icons to display a specific meaning to their
audience, but it is up to the viewers to interpret accordingly.
Purpose of a poster
• attract attention (optical eye-catching through shape and color),
• be memorable (original motifs and texts),
• have an interesting design (original combination of font, image and color)
• a clearly structured message or statement.

Promptly at the beginning of twilight, came again to that quiet corner of that quiet, small park the girl in gray. She sat upon a bench and read a book, for
there was yet to come a half hour in which print could be accomplished.
To repeat: Her dress was gray, and plain enough to mask its impeccancy of style and fit. A large- meshed veil imprisoned her turban hat and a face that
shone through it with a calm and unconscious beauty. She had come there at the same hour on the day previous, and on the day before that; and there
was one who knew it.
The young man who knew it hovered near, relying upon burnt sacrifices to the great joss, Luck. His piety was rewarded, for, in turning a page, her book
slipped from her fingers and bounded from the bench a full yard away.
The young man pounced upon it with instant avid- ity, returning it to its owner with that air that seems to flourish in parks and public places - a
compound of gallantry and hope, tempered with respect for the policeman on the beat. In a pleasant voice, be risked an inconsequent remark upon the
weather that in- troductory topic responsible for so much of the world's unhappiness-and stood poised for a mo- ment, awaiting his fate.
The girl looked him over leisurely; at his ordinary, neat dress and his features distinguished by nothing particular in the way of expression.
"You may sit down, if you like," she said, in a full, deliberate contralto. "Really, I would like to have you do so. The light is too bad for reading. I would
prefer to talk."
The vassal of Luck slid upon the seat by her side with complaisance.
"Do you know," be said, speaking the formula with which park chairmen open their meetings, "that you are quite the stunningest girl I have seen in a
long time? I had my eye on you yesterday. Didn't know somebody was bowled over by those pretty lamps of yours, did you, honeysuckle?"
"Whoever you are," said the girl, in icy tones, "you must remember that I am a lady. I will excuse the remark you have just made because the mistake
was, doubtless, not an unnatural one -- in your circle. I asked you to sit down; if the invitation must con- stitute me your honeysuckle, consider i "I
earnestly beg your pardon," pleaded the young ran. His expression of satisfaction had changed to one of penitence and humility. It was my fault, you
know -I mean, there are girls in parks, you know - that is, of course, you don't know, but -- "
"Abandon the subject, if you please. Of course I know. Now, tell me about these people passing and crowding, each way, along these paths. Where are
they going? Why do they hurry so? Are they happy?"
The young man had promptly abandoned his air of coquetry. His cue was now for a waiting part; he could not guess the role be would be expected to
play.
"It is interesting to watch them," he replied, pos- tulating her mood. "It is the wonderful drama of life. Some are going to supper and some to -- er -- other
places. One wonders what their histories are."
"I do not," said the girl; "I am not so inquisi- tive. I come here to sit because here, only, can I be tear the great, common, throbbing heart of hu- manity.
My part in life is cast where its beats are never felt. Can you surmise why I spoke to you, Mr. -- ?"
"Parkenstacker," supplied the young man. Then be looked eager and hopeful.
"No," said the girl, holding up a slender finger, and smiling slightly. "You would recognize it im- mediately. It is impossible to keep one's name out of
print. Or even one's portrait. This veil and this hat of my maid furnish me with an incog. You should have seen the chauffeur stare at it when he thought
I did not see. Candidly, there are five or six names that belong in the holy of holies, and mine, by the accident of birth, is one of them. I spoke to you, Mr.
Stackenpot -- "
"Parkenstacker," corrected the young man, mod- estly.
" -- Mr. Parkenstacker, because I wanted to talk, for once, with a natural man -- one unspoiled by the despicable gloss of wealth and supposed social su-
periority. Oh! you do not know how weary I am of it -- money, money, money! And of the men who surround me, dancing like little marionettes all cut by
the same pattern. I am sick of pleasure, of jewels, of travel, of society, of luxuries of all kinds."
"I always had an idea," ventured the young man, hesitatingly, "that money must be a pretty good thing."
"A competence is to be desired. But when you leave so many millions that -- !" She concluded the sentence with a gesture of despair. "It is the mo- otony
of it" she continued, "that palls. Drives, dinners, theatres, balls, suppers, with the gilding of superfluous wealth over it all. Sometimes the very tinkle of
the ice in my champagne glass nearly drives me mad."
Mr. Parkenstacker looked ingenuously interested.
"I have always liked," he said, "to read and hear about the ways of wealthy and fashionable folks. I suppose I am a bit of a snob. But I like to have my
information accurate. Now, I had formed the opin- ion that champagne is cooled in the bottle and not by placing ice in the glass."
The girl gave a musical laugh of genuine amuse- ment.
"You should know," she explained, in an indul- gent tone, "that we of the non-useful class depend for our amusement upon departure from precedent.
Just now it is a fad to put ice in champagne. The idea was originated by a visiting Prince of Tartary while dining at the Waldorf. It will soon give way to
some other whim. Just as at a dinner party this week on Madison Avenue a green kid glove was laid by the plate of each guest to be put on and used
while eating olives."
"I see," admitted the young man, humbly.
"These special diversions of the inner circle do not become familiar to the common public."
"Sometimes," continued the girl, acknowledging his confession of error by a slight bow, "I have thought that if I ever should love a man it would be one of
lowly station. One who is a worker and not a drone. But, doubtless, the claims of caste and wealth will prove stronger than my inclination. Just now I am
besieged by two. One is a Grand Duke of a German principality. I think he has, or has bad, a wife, somewhere, driven mad by his intemperance and
cruelty. The other is an English Marquis, so cold and mercenary that I even prefer the diabolism of the Duke. What is it that impels me to tell you these
things, Mr. Packenstacker?
"Parkenstacker," breathed the young man. "In- deed, you cannot know how much I appreciate your confidences."
The girl contemplated him with the calm, imper- sonal regard that befitted the difference in their sta- tions.
"What is your line of business, Mr. Parken- stacker?" she asked.
"A very humble one. But I hope to rise in the world. Were you really in earnest when you said that you could love a man of lowly position?"
"Indeed I was. But I said 'might.' There is the Grand Duke and the Marquis, you know. Yes; no calling could be too humble were the man what I would
wish him to be."
"I work," declared Mr. Parkenstacker, "in a res- taurant."
The girl shrank slightly.
"Not as a waiter?" she said, a little imploringly. "Labor is noble, but personal attendance, you know -- valets and -- "
"I am not a waiter. I am cashier in" -- on the street they faced that bounded the opposite side of the park was the brilliant electric sign "RESTAU- RANT" -
- "I am cashier in that restaurant you am there."
The girl consulted a tiny watch set in a bracelet of rich design upon her left wrist, and rose, hurriedly. She thrust her book into a glittering reticule sus-
pended from her waist, for which, however, the book was too large.
"Why are you not at work?" she asked.
"I am on the night turn," said the young man; it is yet an hour before my period begins. May I not hope to see you again?"
"I do not know. Perhaps - but the whim may not seize me again. I must go quickly now. There is a dinner, and a box at the play -- and, oh! the same old
round. Perhaps you noticed an automobile at the upper corner of the park as you came. One with a white body
"And red running gear?" asked the young man, knitting his brows reflectively.
"Yes. I always come in that. Pierre waits for me there. He supposes me to be shopping in the de- partment store across the square. Conceive of the
bondage of the life wherein we must deceive even our chauffeurs. Good-night."
"But it is dark now," said Mr. Parkenstacker, "and the park is full of rude men. May I not walk -- "
"If you have the slightest regard for my wishes," said the girl, firmly, "you will remain at this bench for ten minutes after I have left. I do not mean to
accuse you, but you are probably aware that autos generally bear the monogram of their owner. Again, good-night"
Swift and stately she moved away through the dusk. The young man watched her graceful form as she reached the pavement at the park's edge, and
turned up along it toward the corner where stood the automobile. Then he treacherously and unhesitat- ingly began to dodge and skim among the park
trees and shrubbery in a course parallel to her route, keep- ing her well in sight
When she reached the corner she turned her head to glance at the motor car, and then passed it, con tinuing on across the street. Sheltered behind a
con- venient standing cab, the young man followed her movements closely with his eyes. Passing down the sidewalk of the street opposite the park, she
entered the restaurant with the blazing sign. The place was one of those frankly glaring establishments, all white, paint and glass, where one may dine
cheaply and conspicuously. The girl penetrated the restaurant to some retreat at its rear, whence she quickly emerged without her bat and veil.
The cashier's desk was well to the front. A red- head girl an the stool climbed down, glancing pointedly at the clock as she did so. The girl in gray
mounted in her place.
The young man thrust his hands into his pockets and walked slowly back along the sidewalk. At the corner his foot struck a small, paper-covered volume
lying there, sending it sliding to the edge of the turf. By its picturesque cover he recognized it as the book the girl had been reading. He picked it up
carelessly, and saw that its title was "New Arabian Nights," the author being of the name of Stevenson. He dropped it again upon the grass, and lounged,
irresolute, for a minute. Then he stepped into the automobile, reclined upon the cushions, and said two words to the chauffeur:
"Club, Henri."
