It is piece of paper that you keep. Also, the teacher writes
the recommendation in a file for the office.

Test
For early registration, the level is about 60%.
The final pass mark in BC is only 50%.
At SHEC, we want the strongest students to move up.
If you are between 50-60%, you might be not be ready for the
next level.

Feel free to take a picture of the comments. I am not able

Napoleon

pigs have
headquarters
Animal
committees, all failures, animals reverting to type
literacy
program, Benjamin “nothing worth reading” (21), most animals functionally
illiterate, illiterate masses
therefore
Snowball reduces seven commandments to “single maxim”
“essential
principle of animalism” 4 legs good, 2 legs bad
Napoleon
takes young dogs to raise
milk and
apples go to the pigs, Squealer spins it with fallacious argument evoking

Propaganda-

Squealer
retells
Boxer
disbelieving but then convinced (54, top of 55)
Squealer
appeals to authority (55)
Logical
fallacies.
Good ways
to trick people in an argument, as used by Squealer:
The Appeal to
Authority is a fallacy with the following form:
Person A is (claimed
to be) an authority on subject S.
Person A makes claim C about subject
S.
Therefore, C is true.
The Appeal to Fear is a fallacy with
the following pattern:
Y is presented (a claim that is
intended to produce fear).
Therefore claim X is true (a claim
that is generally, but need not be, related to Y in some manner).
The Relativist Fallacy is committed
when a person rejects a claim by asserting that the claim might be true for
others but is not for him/her. This sort of "reasoning" has the
following form:
Claim X is presented.
Person A asserts that X may be true
for others but is not true for him/her.
Therefore A is justified in rejecting
X.
The Appeal to Emotion is a fallacy
with the following structure:
Favorable emotions are associated with
X.
Therefore, X is true.
This fallacy is
committed when someone manipulates peoples' emotions in order to get them to
accept a claim as being true. More formally, this sort of "reasoning"
involves the substitution of various means of producing strong emotions in
place of evidence for a claim. If the favorable emotions associated with X
influence the person to accept X as true because they "feel good about
X," then he has fallen prey to the fallacy.

Puts its mark upon our
