  3. Example 1 • Act #1, page 189, speaker: Mrs. Putnam -”I knew it! Goody Osburn were midwife to me three times. I begged you, Thomas, did I not? I begged him not to call Osburn because I feared her, my babies always shriveled in her hands…” -Ann is saying that she doesn’t want Mrs. Osburn as a midwife because her children died in her hands. This argument insinuates that Mrs. Osburn killed them, even though there isn’t any evidence.

  4. Example 2 • Act #2, page unknown, speaker: Danforth - “And do you know that near to four hundred are in the jails from Marblehead to Lynn, and upon my signature?” -”And seventy-two condemned to hang by that signature?” -Because Danforth has signed for the arrest of a lot of other people, he must be correct for all of them. This is obviously hasty generalization.
