(MIP) There is 2 choices you can make while driving, one choice is driving fast and killing a person or animal, or other driving slow and getting arrested. (SIP-A) One choice you have while driving is driving fast and killing people or animals. (STEWE-1) Clarisse and Montag were having a conversation about people hurting themselves and each other nowadays. “Six of my friends have been shot in the last year alone. Ten of them died in car wrecks”(27). Clarisse's friends have died in car wrecks because people don't pay attention because they are driving so fast.

(SIP-A) I choose to use the logical fallacy, either/or; also called false dilemma. (STEWE-1) The logical fallacy either/or;also called false dilemma is when only two options are given when many choices exist. Also, a false Dilemma is a fallacy based on an "either-or" type of argument. I choose this logical fallacy because in the book “Fahrenheit 451, By Ray Bradbury”, the society doesn't allow people to think about the world around them by making then drive fast.

(SIP-B) Both pathos and logos are used in my meme. (STEWE-1) Pathos is a politician attempts to instill fear, anxiety, trust, hope, optimism, pessimism or any other positive or negative feeling in people. In my meme pathos is used by trying to get an emotional feeling across to the reader. It is also trying to get a positive (not killing a person or animal), and a negative (killing a person or animal) feeling across to the reader. (STEWE-2) Logos consists of evidence and arguments. Logos is used in my meme because my whole meme is basically an argument. There's 2 sides that people believe in. They are, driving fast and killing a person or animal, or driving slow and getting arrested. (CS) The logical fallacy either/or; also called false dilemma, and pathos and logos are all used in my meme to get the message across to the reader to do the right
