He is thinking that since fruit (a part) in making cake is sweet and good. Then the other part of fruitcake is the pound cake which is also great. The conclusion that he comes to is that fruitcake is nasty because he is assuming that since part (ingredients of fruit and cake) of the whole (fruitcake) would be the truth for the whole (fruitcake). media type="custom" key="27886053" Video Two : In the video they are explaining stereotypes of girls. One girl might run, fight, or talk a certain way that makes the whole group look like they do the same thing. This fallacy is based off of the part (being a single girl) representing a group (being all girls) and people assume a truth of all from one. But in reality a group of girls might be fighters, Olympian track stars, or announcers picked for the beauty in their voice.
