When comparing Donatello’s David to Michelangelo’s David, one can see that both of the statues depict the same figure. Donatello’s figure was created 1420s-60s, and Michelangelo’s figure in 1501-04.

I believe that Gladwell did a great job in this essay and I agree with most of his points. An assumption I had before reading was that children who come from nothing have more drive then kids who are raised surrounded by wealth.
