Jorge: Conclusion You won't be able to write well about the rock music of the 1960s, since Support you were just an infant then. ████ █████ ██ ███ █████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ███ ██████ ███ ████ ████ ██ █████ █████ ███ █████ █████████

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position

Ruth concludes that Jorge is “absurd” to claim that Ruth will be unable to write well about music created while she was a baby. To support her position, Ruth draws an analogy to modern authors who write well about ancient historical eras long before the authors were born.

Describe Method of Reasoning

Ruth counters Jorge’s argument by analogizing with a similar case where Jorge’s reasoning clearly doesn’t hold up. By showing that Jorge’s reasoning doesn’t work in the analogous case, Ruth undermines its application to her own case.
