<p>I was doing a mock-test, sort of a self-drill, with a released 2009 FRQ on collegeboard’s website, and after I formed a response to the E.O.Wilson prompt (a rhetorical analysis prompt), I realized that I talked a great deal about logical fallacies in my essay.
Well, the question asked me to talk about rhetorical devices and I guess logical fallacies are distinctly different things from rhetorical devices… But, anybody who has read the passage (whose prompt asks us to analyze the satire that Wilson uses to belie the futility of the heated polemic between the environmentalists and their critics) would understand that Wilson is deliberately using logical fallacies (such as slippery slope, either-or fallacy, and hasty generalization) to flaunt very flagrantly the logical loopholes of both arguments–this is satire in and of itself, where Wilson puts himself in their shoes and uses an extended style of hyperbole to belie their faults…</p>
<p>Do I get a low score if I talk about logical fallacies for the rhetorical analysis prompt? Is this acceptable? Also, if anyone is conversant with this prompt, I talked about anaphora and an extended antithesis as well in my essay: what do you think?</p>
<p>Thank you very much in advance 
I am just in dire need of advice…</p>
