Q10: Homer
Heinrichs uses The Simpsons often throughout his book. Homer is a great character to analyze. If you are a Simpsons fan, pay particular attention to Homer’s language gaffs in one episode. What did you notice? Apply some of the terms Heinrichs uses throughout the book (the more often you do this, the easier it will become).

Im a big Simpsons fan, and while watching an episode the other night i thought about this question and realized that many of Homers arguments are incredibly simple. I believe that his main tactic,(if he realizes he is using it or not) is the straw man tactic. He constantly neglects the real problem and relates the debate to another problem that is much more on his level of intellect
