This is an example of a hasty generalization fallacy.  In this meme the person reaches a conclusion before considering all evidence, therefore it is a hasty generalization fallacy.


This is an example of an ad hominem fallacy.  In this meme Robin is attacking batman as a person rather than his argument which makes it an ad hominem meme.


This is an example of a red herring fallacy.  The duck on one leg is arguing that a spaghetti monster does exist but he has no reasoning for it, so he brings up another topic that is off subject to draw attention from his argument. That is why it is a red herring fallacy.

  1. New media writing is both digital and non-digital. New media writing is considered material. People do not normally think of it as a material because you can not touch the internet, but the internet has a lot of materials involved to make it. Also, a document on a device can be printed out as a paper making it materialistic. New media writers should consider medium, design, and genre.  They are more important than in traditional writing. In new media pictures and videos are effective. New media should involve some type of rhetorical writing. You should also consider the audience. With technology and new media, your audience could be anyone around the world.
2. I do not quite understand the rhetoric section of the first chapter.
