A. "Why would anyone young or old, respond to a cartoon as much or more than a realistic image." This quote was from an article by Scott Mccloud. This quote really stood out to me because if you think about its really true . Its sounds a little odd at first but us humans actually respond to a cartoon either the same or more than a realistic image, but why? well maybe because it is more simplified and we like the childlike features. Or maybe it "Enables us to travel in another realm. We dont just observe the cartoon we become it!" (McCloud p. 206) I believe humans tend to respond to cartoons as much or more than realistic image because when we see cartoon we tend to be less judgemental about it. Cartoons are simplifyed version of real things which means the images in a cartoon is less detailed. So we dont tend to focus on how the person looks or what color the person is, we focus more on the message that is being displayed in the cartoon as oppose to if it was a realistic image.

B. An example of a logical fallacy would be, my grandfather is cranky, just as most grandparents are. This is hasty generalization because I am accusing all grandparents of being cranky just because my grandfather is cranky. I am making a general conclusion based on a specific fact.

C. If ever there was an idea custom-made for Jay Leno monologue, this was it: True friendship. Now it just seems like people just want to be your friend if they need or want something from you. Isnt that wrong and hurtful? Whatever happened to the good old days where your bestfriend is the only person you would trust with your secrets and to always be there for you when you need it. Now a days people just worry about themselves. Even your own best friend or who you thought was your best friend would lie right front of your face and act like nothing happened. I happen to sympathize with those people whose best friend lie to them about sleeping with their boyfriend/girlfriend.
