The men see the gulls as “gruesome and ominous” (1335) because the birds are “uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny” (1355). The gulls represent nature’s indifference to humans.

Justin Bieber, like most children, generally resorts to the Red Herring Fallacy as a natural go-to when he is accused of misbehaving and he is asked to justify his mischievous actions. Unfortunately, unlike most children, Justin Bieber has to answer to more than just his parents. He has to explain his actions to his agent, public relations representative, and his adoring fans. Rather than accept the fault for his indiscretions, Bieber uses diversionary tactics and repeatedly explains that he is just

subjected to reasoning fallacies and if these fallacies persist, the public will have a hard time deciphering what is true and what is false and what is fact and what is opinion.
