2. ON the two Hands Put your self in their shoes • In MalcomGladwells’ book “The Tipping” point he sates what is a “tipping point” doing so by describing several different situations in which there was a “tipping point” in the trans course of different scenarios, such in medicine with the epidemics, explaining it through the spread of HIV and other diseases such as syphilis, as from the commercial point of view explaining the “tipping point” of the shoe company Hush Puppies. Gladwell explains as well what he calls “The Law of The Few,” a law that is explained through examples such a the beginning of a battle in the USA revolutionary war, to the giving of an exam to the reader to explain what a connector its. Gladwell in these first twenty pages of the book manages to explain several characteristics of what a “tipping point is,” through several scenarios.

3. “Ontheotherhandknowwhereyou are going” • Gladwells’ explains his theory of connectors, with several characters and circumstances. One f the being his explanation of Roger Horchow, a man who was behind some big Broadway shows, a man who had scored very high on his people knowing test. Gladwell explains how this man was naturally sociable, how he is the type of person you meet in a airplane and by the end of the flight you are best friends with him , how Horchow is the type of person who remembers every persons name and is abele to maintain a casual relationship with them, having an agenda a with the persons birthday, so that they these people can receive a birthday card from the. Gladwell in his explaining of Connectors says that the age group that had the most acquaintances was the age group between their mid thirties and forties and that it is usual that the connections of these people would double from when you are twenty to when you are forty.

4. Summarizing satirically • Gladwell in explaining his “connectors” claims that you live in the same world as your friends, this meaning that you wouldn't’t know much as these people live in the same world as you do, this meaning we live in small world one with few diversity. Gladwell besides this explains how e don’t have much in common with our acquaintances, thus meaning that our world is yet more narrow, but how can this be true if our acquaintances are similar enough to have the same job as us or working in a similar area, a characteristic that from my point of view is essential as this decides where you focus in life and thus this world is not as narrow, as these acquaintances may come from many different backgrounds and we may all meet in this jobs.

5. Use signal verbs that fit the action • Gladwell firmly believes that there is a “tipping point” in most scenarios that there are certain characters that are more decisive on the occurrences of these “tipping points,” and for these tipping pints there are more than one factor that come in to play
