Personal Narrative: I Am Guilty

Decent Essays
I am guilty of committing logical fallacies, unintentionally, during my writing. It has been such a long time since I completed an argumentation paper. I cannot remember the mistakes I have made, and after reading this chapter, I probably made a few. Even so, in some of my recent short writing assignments or essays, I have had a few misconceptions justify my evidence, which led to incorrect reasoning. I thought it was appropriate to support some evidence with logic, depending on the argument and the assignment. Though, just because my logic makes since to me, does not mean to other people it is a fact. Supporting the argument keys points with truthful facts, and proper research, could decrease the chances of committing logical fallacies.

    I managed to reach a point where I began making false promises to myself and others about addressing my situation. Among those empty promises was the one where I claimed I would give up drinking, attend rehab and try to get my life back on track. I even fiddled with the thought of seeking inpatient assistance if things weren't working as planned. Let's be clear and fair.…

    Though I was not able to put all of my attention to school until junior year, I kicked it into high gear as soon as I could. Despite all my hard work, I was unable to find myself a place in the top 10%. This has hurt my appearance to colleges, but I hope that with these explanations of what I had to go through freshman and sophomore year, my position will be slightly more understandable.

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    It is common for arguments to have bad logic or unsound premises, these are called fallacious arguments. Many of these arguments may seem to make sense at first, but when you take a deeper look into them you will realize that they really don’t. In this essay, I am going to analyze different fallacious arguments and then give them what they need to be stronger arguments while simultaneously trying to connect the bridge between chihuahua and dog. One type of fallacious argument is called begging the question. This happens when the truth of the argument is presupposed in the premises.…

    Maybe ignorance is bliss for a day. I can close my eyes and breathe in the heavy scent of the pungent stench of manila bay and pretend even just for a day that I am safe, that we are safe, that I can stand in front of this bay and commute and I will be safe, that I can trust the streets to keep me unharmed, that there are good days and bad days but life is as beautiful as ever, but reality is a burden you can’t un-see, and although there are holes and faults, taking comfort in the safety of those alive at the expense of 4 percent of innocents would never ease my mind. There are many problems I have dealt with in the process of growing up, they range from inconsequential ones such as my indecisiveness with simple things such as which to order to arguments with…

    My junior year of high school was in my mind full of injustices, some petty, some not at all. There were a few standouts, one regarding some of my best friends betraying me completely and lying to get themselves out of any trouble with the police. Another, being forced by my english teacher on the fourth day of school to rewrite an essay that was in my mind amazing just because she didn’t like my style. And then there was getting a yellow card in soccer for getting into a little skirmish with a kid who slide tackled me from behind. Perhaps dwelling or complaining about this injustice of getting a yellow card is petty and in the referee’s mind was completely justified but in my mind it was and is absurd.…
