Reaction(love is a fallacy)

I had plenty reactions regarding what happened in the story and then characters especially on the narrator. "Love is a fallacy" according to Max Schulman. Love is really a fallacy for me. Love is something that is believed to be truth but sometimes is erroneous. Many of us don’t know that there are times when love, which we think to be truth, is erroneous just like what happened in Max Schulman’s “Love is a Fallacy”.I liked the last pert of the story because the girl, who is Polly, really learned and put in mind what the narrator taught her and she was able to use those information in answering the narrator's questions. Her answers were exactly the same as what the narrator taught her. The narrator really made a mistake. He shouldn’t make the deal with Petey.

The narrator is also very fool and he did not think Logic, the science of thinking and its fallacies will be used by Polly in preventing him to be his wife

Love, sometimes, could be considered as a fallacy depending on a situation a person maybe situated in. For example, if you only loved a girl or a guy because of his or her wealth, even though she is not as pretty as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba or he is not as handsome as Brad Pitt or Leonardo de Caprio, then love in that situation is proven as a fallacy. Why? It is because you do not love that exact person but his or her wealth, jewelry and other luxurious things. You can also tell that love is a fallacy if you are just forced to love that person. Maybe out of pity because that person loves you so much and he or she is willing to die for you, or maybe because that person threatened you that he or she would commit suicide if you can not accept him or her. See what love can do?

The story was very funny but I realized that it was funny when I ended up the story with a cool question. Why would Polly Espy choose Petey Bellows who is a faddist rather than the man/narattor who is very intelligent, keen and better than Petey. Maybe also because of Love. Maybe, Polly realized that he loves Petey because of who he is. Not like the man who only thinks of himself rather than considering the feeling of his friend.
I was very well informed by the different fallacies. Those made me very curious on studying Law. The man/narrator was indeed an intelligent one. He was just eighteen but he already knew about these things. Things to be used in reasoning out during court trials.I do think LOVE really is a fallacy. Love is the root of all the problems yet love is the solution. Love is really a part of the problem. Divorced parents got married because they LOVED each other, it brought them together. They break up because the husband LOVED another woman. But then, the man realized something, the man still LOVED his wife.

I learned many things in the story. We should never be boastful. We should put our feet on the ground. We should not judge other people. We do not know their abilities. Maybe, they never show it to other people. And last, we should not take things for granted. They maybe useless now but they are going to be very useful in the future.
