He uses logical and emotional appeals and repetition to make the reader question their interpretations of disadvantages, to emphasize we can overcome those difficulties and to suggest that some difficulties may even be desirable. Gladwell opens the chapter expounding upon what dyslexia is and what a disadvantage it can be. He appeals to the logical side of readers with the statement, “What do we mean when we call something a disadvantage?

    Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence.” Namely, a person does not rise in status or become powerful by attempting to gain control over others by force; rather, one achieves a greater level of status or power through individual merit. A powerful person is a person who, not only possess political or social authority but who is also strong or influential in the behavior of others or in the course of events. The pursuit of power is depicted in many literary works, one of them, in particular, being Moses, Man of the Mountain by Zora Neale Hurston. In her novel, Hurston contrasts the novel’s two main characters, Pharaoh and Moses, to make the statement that those who solely and forcefully chase after power and status, as opposed to morals and virtue, do not achieve their goal, but instead, are brought to their downfall.…

    In stories of self-actualization there is most often an incident that is written off as unimportant, and in Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God” this trend continues. Janie’s relationship with Vergible “Tea Cake” Woods is generally regarded as the point where Janie discovers who she is as an individual, while her relationship with Joe Starks (Jody) is often overlooked. What seems to be overlooked is the fact that because of her relationship with Jody, Janie discovers what she doesn’t want out of a relationship and that she should not settle for just anything. This realization that Janie has eventually helps her accept Tea cake later on in the story. Jody’s core values and way of life often clashed with Janie’s…
