Because I Said So

Annika recently emailed her former logic teacaher back in Chicago asking to have a worksheet forwarded to her. She cc'ed Julie, so that she could prepare.

Mrs. Burns,

As sad and pathetic as it is for only a moment of desperation to be the excuse for my first communication with you in months:

Can you send me my "best friend" the grid from logic class with the rules of argument? "Ad populum", "ad bactum" (i think. . . whatever means "to the stick" a.k.a., threatening someone)? I am in a heated debate with my mother and I think she has broken just about all of the rules of logic by now, but i can't call her on it without my "best friend."

Love,

Annika
