Rhetorc Device- Trope

A trope is a rhetoric group that consists of rhettoric devices that use a play on words. There are many types of these, many of them we already know, things like:

• Hyperboles-A comparison that is a sort of exaggeration. I tried a thousand times.
• Similies- Comparison using the words like or as. As tall as a tree.
• Metaphors-Comparison without using the words like or as. The man is a ticking time bomb ready to go off at any moment.
• Litotes-The use of two negative words to make a postive expression. I didn't not do it
• Euphamisms- The use of a less offensive word to replace an offensive one. Oops! I passed wind!
• Onamatopeias- Words that also make a sound. Boom!!
• Paradoxes- A statement that appears to condradict itself. Slow and steady wins the race.
• Puns-A phaes that confuses similar words on purpose. The ghost practiced scaring people night after night. He was finally ready for his day boo.
• Oxymoron-The combination of two contradictory terms. Jumbo Shrimp.

Example from The Public

When Janet Jaskson and Justin Timberlake coined the phrase "Wardrobe Malfunction" to deescribe their incedent at the Suberbowl in 2004. This is an example of a Euphamism.

Logical Fallacy- Composition Fallacy

Composition Fallacy

A composition fallacy or Compositio cado in Latin, occurs when a conclusion is drawn when facts are not presented on both sides. There are two types of composition fallacies that are called by the same name because they are so similar. There first type uses the characteristics of a small part of something and makes a conclusion based on those characteristics for the larger thing that it makes up. Some examples of this include:

Cells can only be seen under the microscope.
Living creatures are made up of cells,
Therefore living creatures can only be seen under the microscope.
Or
The air-conditioner on the car doesn’t work, therefore the car doesn’t work.

The second type of composition fallacy uses the characteristics of some individuals of a group and makes conclusion based on those characteristics for the entire group. Examples of this are:

Some people failed the test, therefore everyone failed the test.
Or
The workers from Ontario decided to go on strike, therefore, World Wide, the workers went on strike.

These examples are obviously fallacious because the characteristics of a small part of something don’t necessarily mean those characteristics are portrayed in the larger objects. Also, individuals don’t always have the same characteristics as the whole group.

Syllogism
First Type
Parts of object X have characteristics A, B, C, D...
Therefore object X has characteristics A, B, C, D...

Second Type
Individuals from group X have characteristics A, B, C, D...
Therefore as a whole group X has characteristics A, B, C, D...

Media Example

Although there is no concrete example of a composition fallacy in the text the point the author (Jonah Goldberg) is trying to make is fallacious. He says that given the recent non-conserative policies made by President George W. Bush that President Bush is in fact a liberal.

This is fallaicious because he has been in office for 4 years and has made many policies that favour both sides. And there are many other divisions not only liberal and conserative.
