Have you ever done something that you got away with, but for only a short period of time? The main character, Guy Montag, in Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 hides books in his house. In this society, it is against the rules to have books anywhere. Montag gets books, shows them to his wife, Mildred; and even reads them to her friends.

Throughout Malcolm Gladwell essay he describes several examples of activism of different political movements. I agree with Gladwell’s argument about social media, like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., is a form of weak-tie activism and strong-tie activism requires strong connections to other individuals who are willing to sacrifice for a cause.

This chapter revolved around what leads to the success of certain people. First, Gladwell analyzes the key factor to the success of hockey players: their birthdays. The birthday theory states that children born immediately after the cutoff date of a specific sport or activity have a greater chance of being successful in that specific field, because they are bigger, stronger and smarter than their peers due to the increase of age. This advantage can be career-changing yet it is not the only deciding factor of success. Obviously, talent and passion is the foundation to success; the birthday theory just broadens the chances of an individual’s success.
