Blog #2 McCloud-Fallacy

A.
McCloud himself writes " The fact that your mind is capable of taking a circle, two dots, and line and turning them into a face is nothing short of incredible." (202) McCloud's point is basically saying our minds have an odd way of working. It's strange how dots and a line form a face in our minds. If anyone was too ever see two dots, a line and a circle they would automatically presume it's a face. I wonder how is it that our minds can turn such a simple image into something that well known ? Our minds work in mysterious ways I must say. This qoute intrigued me very much. It made me think like, you know I never really thought of it like that. How our minds turn dots and lines into a face. It is indeed incredible. It's sort of like how our minds transfer thoughts into actions. You think you want speak so you speak. McCoulds views on this subject were all very interesting. They really make you think.

B.
An example of a logical fallacy would be " my house burnt down,so buy a new one ." This is an example of oversimplifcation. Oversimplification is a simple solution to a complex problem. Obvisously if your house burnt down it's more complex to purchase another house.

C.
If ever there was an idea custom-made for Jay Leno monologue, this was it: that male students usually dominate class discussions. Isn't that like a typical double standard? Whatever happen to men and woman were equal?
I happen to sympathize with the woman,though, perphaps because I feel woman or more self -conscious about how they will sound and are more concerned of what people will think about them. Men don't really care about that sort of thing like woman do.
