Malcom Gladwell's second chunk in his non-fictional text, Outliers Gladwell keeps his purpose the same, and he restates that people are not born genius but the practice and effort pays it off at the end. Gladwell's second chunk concentrates in analyzing why some people of other ethnicity's are not as successful as others. Gladwell first gives an example of Jewish people who tend to be really good at what they do, but people tend to base them on their appearance. Gladwell finds this disturbing because he believes that people should not be based on their looks but they should take in consideration that the Jewish are talented people who have practiced and gave their all to become successful at whatever they do. In the second chunk i found a section very interesting where some parents do not succeed while their children do. I found this interesting because Gladwell takes us back to the first chunk when he states that the month the offspring is born in affects them. Gladwell also points out that one should be confident about the way they live life and that they may need to rely on others to live. Gladwell seems to have a serious tone because he takes success very seriously. Gladwell knows that behind someones success there is some studying and practicing before they became successful at whatever they tend to do in life.
Application Question: Why does Malcolm Gladwell keep the same purpose as in the previous chunk ?
Clarification Question: How does the way you live affect if you will later be successful in life ?

Gladwell keeps the same purpose in both chunks because the same thing happens to all the people in both chunks. The only thing that needed to be changes were the examples and explanations of the stories to better develop the second part of the book.
ReplyDeleteThe way that people live may affect the way that people develop as adults because of the customs that people grow up with. Depenging on who they were growing up around and how well the communicated as young people.
Gladwell keeps the same purpose because in the first chapter he introduced outliers and what steps got them to their success, but in the second chunk he elaborates more on how the outliers reach success and he gives examples of actual outliers and how the steps got them to their success.
ReplyDeleteGladwell keeps the same purpose from the first chunk by further elaborating on outliers and how they become such successful people.
ReplyDeleteA person's future is affected by both culture and his or her environment. Different cultures have different values and you learn different things. People are greatly affected by their surroundings because some people might have connections or money that attribute to their future.
