Fallacy In The Giver

460 Words2 Pages

(MIP) In the book The Giver, my meme is about how people are being released and replaced and why it's wrong.(SIP A) They do not realize this in their society this is wrong they have believed for centuries this is normal.(STEWE 1) In their thoughts it's just another rule to keep the society in check.”Normally such a new child would be labeled inadequate and released from the community”(42). This is showing how they treat the releasings so lightly and as an often event.(STEWE 2) They believe that the releasing is just a place going elsewhere and do not think any wrong of it. “If you don't fit in, you can apply for Elsewhere and be released”(48).

My method of persuasion is logos, this is shown in my meme by developing a sense that this is not a typical thing for most people. When it says “keep it original” This is to make anyone reading think about how this wouldn't make sense in their everyday life. These acts in my meme try to make the reader stop and think it through, or in some way make a connection to how they would feel about

This article shows shows how incarcerated mothers are expected to be able to achieve the same steps to rehabilitation as ‘free’ mothers—which is unrealistic. The time frame used is also unfair to incarcerated mothers because sentencing times are often longer then the system is set up for. Parents are required to attend court dates that are twelve months apart from each other and within these twelve months the mother is expected to be able to care for the child or children otherwise her rights as a parent will be terminated.
