traits. Being successful is one of the driving points of American society. This is the point made by Malcolm Gladwell in his novel Outliers, which is in contrast with the pith of the article “Your Genes Don’t Fit: Why 10,000 Hours of Practice Won’t Make You an Expert.” I am against the 10,000 hour rule and agree with the article, not the book. Many people may disagree with this statement as Malcolm Gladwell has scientifically proven that the 10,000 hour rule is genuine. Gladwell gave many…

In Jurassic Park, the theme of chance is present in the form of the protagonist, Ian Malcolm and in I am legend the theme of chance is present in Robert Neville’s character and the chances for survival are against him in the dystopian city. In Jurassic Park, Ian Malcolm uses the infamous quote ‘Life finds a way’, to prove that no matter how advanced science is, or how knowledgeable a single person may be about the way that the…

most outspoken. Separation of job availability is unfair and can make someone change their views on the world. When Malcolm X was young, him and his family suffered because of white supremacists. When he was older Malcolm was kept from finding a career that used his talents and skills because he was black. He got mixed into the wrong crowd and was arrested. While in prison Malcolm discovered the religious group Nation of Islam and completely immersed himself in their beliefs. Once out of…

Two Great Men Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an incredible man who integrated the nation. Malcolm X also helped in this process, he too was a speaker on Civil Rights, but there are always two sides to every coin. Martin Luther King believed in peace, equality and thought that white people can be good and bad. In contrast Malcolm X believed that violence was the best way to do things, black people should be superior, and that white people are horrible and should not be trusted. One will see…

William Sydney Porter was a short story writer known for surprise endings and irony through his stories. The writer was born on September 11, 1862, in South Carolina. As a young boy, he clerked at his uncle’s drugstore and at twenty he moved to Texas. The reason for the move to Texas was for health reason, both his mother and grandmother died from tuberculosis. During his life in Texas, he worked on a ranch and as a bank teller. Many of the stories he wrote were stories of his experience living…

“That was good…..BUT NOT GREAT”, Luke my High School Drum Major yelled at a bunch of out of breath exhausted students. We had just ran a mile with the only thought of finally getting the approval of Luke. The past weekend we had attended a local competition. We failed that night in the eyes of our instructors for not placing 1st. In our eyes we had way too much fun to even care about a stupid trophy, title or score. All we knew is that the audience was pleased and they enjoyed the show. Some of…

first presents it as an action that provides a false sense of empowerment where one passively views by means of constant scrolling. Later she claims that active spectating gives one a mechanism to become aware of both themselves and the environment. Malcolm Gladwell presents his idea of the environment in his narrative titled…

viewed. I noticed the similar idea that Christianity is a slave religion. I think the idea that brought Malcolm towards Islam is the idea that it was a way out of slavery. When Malcolm discovered Islam, he discovered self-love. He wanted to share his newly developed confidence in his skin color with other African Americans around him. I am hoping the movie also has scenes of how and why Malcolm X turned against Elijah Muhammad. At this point he seems to be following him blindly. I also found…

Malcolm X is quite possibly one of the greatest intellectuals of the 20th century. From the cadence of his speeches to the thick black glasses he would always sport, he became one of the most notable figures during his lifetime. Malcolm X was not born with that name but instead was born as Malcolm Little from Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 to Earl and Louise Little. Malcolm X was a fearless Muslim revolutionary thinker and social warrior who helped lead a group of disenfranchised people think for…

In the words of Robert F. Kennedy, “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lots of other, or strikes out against injustice, he sound out a tiny ripple of hope.” Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X sent hope to African-Americans throughout America for racial equality. Although both Civil Rights Leaders wanted to achieve racial equality in the United States, they had two very different approaches on how to do it. Dr. King’s message and tone in his “I Have a Dream”…
