Lunsford there are many errors presented in various reading texts that allow readers to question the writer's ideas. There is only one main logic or fallacy presented in this story which is Not Sequitur. Non sequitur is an argument that has various statements but does not establish the logical connection with facts or logical reason (Lunsford, Pg.85).
