Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Marie says a cashier mistakenly gave her change for a 20-dollar bill when she only paid with a 10-dollar bill. She claims that, since she did not use deception, threats, or violence to get the extra money, it is morally legitimate for her to keep the difference.

Julia rejects this conclusion, and provides an analogy: if Marie mistakenly gave her own coat to Julia, Julia would not be entitled to keep it even though she had not used deception, threats, or force to get it.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Julia counters Marie's position. She does this by appealing to an analogous situation where she draws a different conclusion from Marie's.
