Let 's say Pole, a non-organic strawberry company, is being sued for claiming their product is "just as healthy as organic strawberries." Pole 's defense is that their strawberries look the same, smell the same and most importantly are the same species, so they must be just as healthy as any organic brand.
Not only for the purpose of the case, but also for the verdict "According to the requirement of precedent, similar cases must be decided similarly." (pg 527) By having two or more cases with similar evidence and circumstances it makes the case stronger and increases the chances of winning. "The greater number of similarities between primary and secondary analogues, the stronger the argument." (pg 527) In this case, the client is suing for misrepresentation of the product because, although the product looks the same, smells the same and is the same species, there are adverse effects of non-organic strawberries.

    Having Cried Wolf does a lot of work in only a short amount of space. Gretchen Shirm does so by taking on multiple characters’ stories, including different perspectives and interwoven storylines, all the while being chock full of vivid imagery and carefully crafted with literary techniques such as similes and metaphors. She also gives such specific, detailed, and relatable examples, appealing to multiple senses that make the reader feel almost as if they are actually there.

    Irony and skepticism often undergo a dual role throughout literature to primarily degrade an opponent’s argument with the intent to support their own. By taking into consideration the weaknesses and insignificant incites of the opponent’s argument an author can successfully lead his audience to perceive the other’s complaint as ridiculous and unnecessary. Through persistent sarcasm and obvious insincerity, a previously sound and cordial argument can appear fallacious. As exemplified in the correspondence between the Coca-Cola company and Grover Press; one may initially assume that Coca-Cola's accusation apprehending the use of their slogan has the ability to confuse consumers, however, the trance evaporates as the sarcastic Grove rebuttal refutes their claims. Although Coca-Cola presents the situation in an amiable manner and approaches the argument with logical evidence, the Grove Press efficiently convinces the readers of the absurdity of Coca-Cola’s argument through the use of sarcasm and the ad hominem fallacy.…
