 - circular reasoning: an argument that supports a claim with the claim itself
 - appeal to nature: the assumption that natural things are always good
The text argues that Beth Everett can't understand rural, blue-collar workers because she is associated with an urban newspaper. However, where Beth works doesn't necessarily indicate anything about her ability to empathize. This illustrates a type of logical fallacy known as guilt by association.
