straw man

Explanation:

This passage presents a straw man fallacy that is an argument in which the person ignores the position of the opponent in the debate and replaces it with a distorted version that represents this position in a wrong way.

In this passage the speaker shows a distorted version of what Senator O'Reilly. The senator said that people needed to "support the initiative of channeling more money into schools," but the speaker distorts that argument by saying that the senator does not care "about the children of our state and their future."

The term fallacy derives from the Latin verb fallere, which means to deceive. A false reasoning with the appearance of truth is called a fallacy. In logic and rhetoric, a fallacy is a logically incoherent, baseless, invalid, or flawed argument in the attempt to effectively prove what it claims.

as alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.
