On their final date, the narrator confesses his feelings for Polly, but she points out he has committed several logical fallacies in his statements. When the narrator asks Polly to go steady, she declines, saying she prefers Petey because he has a raccoon coat. The document then defines several types of logical fallacies discussed on the dates, including hasty generalization, false analogy, and poisoning the well.

    Love is a Fallacy

    1) Plot
     Exposition
    Characters: Narrator
    Polly Espy
    Petey Bellows
    Settings: Petey & Narrator (House/ Dorm/ Room)
    Narrator & Polly Espy (Kozy Korner Kampus, Dinner& Movie,
    Knoll (old oak))
     Initial Inicident
    Petey Bellows wants to have a raccoon coat. Why? Because the Big Men on
    Campus wears them.
     Rising Action
    - The narrator has a raccoon coat worn by his father on Stutz Bearcat in 1925
    - Narrator asks that in exchange of the raccoon coat, he would date Polly Espy.
    Polly Espy & Petey Bellows had a “few laughs”, “casual kick” (Dating)
    - Narrator and Polly Espy had 5 dates, teaching Polly how to get intelligent by
    learning the fallacies of logic
     Climax
    - The narrator was about to confess his feelings for Polly
     Falling Action
    - The narrator confesses to Polly however, Polly is emphasizing that he is
    committing a fallacy on every confession he makes
     Resolution
    - Narrator asked if Polly wants to go steady with him. Polly Espy denied.
    Narrator asked Polly why. Polly said Petey has a raccoon coat.
    2) Fallacies
     Dicto Simpliciter
    argument based on an unqualified generalization. Unfit generalization.

    Example: Exercise is good. Therefore, everybody should exercise


     Hasty Generalization
    The generalization is reached too hastily. There are too few instances to support
    such a conclusion.
    Hastily- with excessive speed or urgency

    Example: You can’t speak French. Petey Bellows can’t speak French. I must
    therefore conclude that nobody at the University of Minnesota can speak
    French.”
     Post Hoc
    One event causes another event
    Example: Let’s not take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it
    rains.
     Contradictory Premises
    the premises of an argument contradict each other

    Example: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won’t be
    able to lift it?
     Ad Misericordiam
    Appealing to sympathy

    Example: “A man applies for a job. When the boss asks him what his
    qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife
    is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no
    shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and
    winter is coming.”
     False Analogy
    situations are altogether different, and making an analogy between them

    Example: Students should be allowed to look at their textbooks during


    examinations. After all, surgeons have X-rays to guide them during an operation,
    lawyers have briefs to guide them during a trial, carpenters have blueprints to
    guide them when they are building a house. Why, then, shouldn’t students be
    allowed to look at their textbooks during an examination?
     Hypothesis Contrary to Fact
    Starting with a hypothesis that is not true and then drawing any supportable
    conclusions from it.

    Example: If Madame Curie had not happened to leave a photographic plate in a


    drawer with a chunk of pitchblende, the world today would not know about
    radium.
     Poisoning the Well
    Presenting a statement that would discredit the other

    Example: “Two men are having a debate. The first one gets up and says, ‘My
    opponent is a notorious liar. You can’t believe a word that he is going to say.’ …
