Question 2

An audience fallacy is when the author asserts an idea about the audience or a group of people that is not necessarily true. An example of this would be to make an assumption about how all women feel about something when, in reality, there is no way that all women feel exactly that way. Authorial fallacy, however, is when the author discusses the beliefs or characteristics of an argument as being their own, which would effect how a reader would interpret the piece. This could happen if an author said something along the lines of their personal religious views, and then went on to discuss another religion in a negative light. Both of these would be essentially making a false claim, therefore nullifying the argument.
