QUESTION #2

An “audience fallacy” is never assuming an interpretation is the only way. An “authorial fallacy” is not being able to argue an author’s point of view as the only view. An example of “audience fallacy” is “Gay marriages are immoral and 70% of Americans agree!” An example of an “authorial fallacy” is “Lindsey Lohan has made several great movie, but she is an alcoholic, drug addict, and vulgar so no one should go see her movies anymore. These examples are significant because they both are trying to convince us that their point of view is right.
