  Frank Norris. The ship that saw a ghost.Frank Norris's intriguing and atmospheric tale of an old forgotten crime, a tragedy, an ancient derelict ghost ship... and the very bizarre reaction of the modern tramp steamer whose bows she crosses.Jack London. To build a fire."To Build a Fire" is a short story by American author Jack London. There are two versions of this story, one published in 1902 and the other in 1908. The story written in 1908 has become an often anthologized classic, while the 1902 story is less well known. The 1908 version is about an unnamed protagonist who ventures out in the subzero boreal forest of the Yukon Territory. He is followed by a native dog and is en route to visit his friends—ignoring warnings from an older man about the dangers of hiking alone in extreme cold. The protagonist underestimates the harsh conditions and slowly begins to freeze to death. After building one fire and leaving it to venture on in his journey he later on attempts to build another but fails. He slips into unconsciousness and dies of hypothermia...Edgar Allan Poe. The pit and the pendulum."The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842 in the literary annual The Gift: A Christmas and New Year's Present for 1843. The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story describes his experience of being tortured. The story is especially effective at inspiring fear in the reader because of its heavy focus on the senses, such as sound, emphasizing its reality, unlike many of Poe's stories which are aided by the supernatural.

  The Tu Quoque Fallacy -...

  William Rands

  • 0

  The Tu Quoque fallacy, often referred to as the "appeal to hypocrisy," is a form of argumentation where an individual deflects criticism by accusing the accuser of the same flaw or wrongdoing. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism, the person making this fallacious argument focuses on the accuser’s behavior, thereby shifting the attention away from the original issue. This technique is often employed to avoid dealing with uncomfortable truths and to undermine the credibility of the person making the accusation. While the Tu Quoque fallacy may seem like a valid rebuttal in certain situations, it is inherently flawed because it does not address the merit of the argument but instead aims to discredit the opponent by pointing out their perceived hypocrisy. 
  The term "Tu Quoque" is derived from Latin, meaning "you too" or "you also." It is a logical misstep in which the argument shifts from the issue at hand to the behavior or actions of the accuser. For example, if person A criticizes person B for smoking, and person B responds by saying, "But you smoke too," this response deflects the criticism without actually addressing the harmful effects of smoking. By focusing on the accuser's actions, the fallacy diverts attention from the original point and diminishes the potential for meaningful discussion. 
  This fallacy is common in many aspects of modern discourse, particularly in political debates, social media discussions, and even in personal relationships. In public debates, individuals or groups may use the Tu Quoque fallacy to avoid engaging with difficult questions, redirecting the conversation toward the alleged hypocrisy of their opponents rather than addressing the real issues. In personal relationships, it may appear as a defensive reaction to avoid taking responsibility for one's actions or mistakes.
