Answer:

Straw man fallacy

Explanation:

The Straw man fallacy refers to an individual's ability to ignore his opponent's argument in a debate, distort that argument and distort what the opponent was actually referring to. This is done in an attempt to undermine rational speech and to present an argument of opposition in an easier and more reasonable way.

An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Judy distorted Mark's argument and gave a totally different meaning than Mark wanted to express.

The second piece employs imagery and personification when he describes "</span><span>the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head", showing that the trees are coming alive to show his friend that they are part of his heritage.</span>

Anna11 [10]
I'm not sure what you read or what this question is really about, but I'm guessing the answer would have something to do with him making the character relatable and applies to everyone who reads it. Maybe the reader is able to see some of themselves in the traits of the character?
