Malcolm Gladwell uses this part of the book to show that things are different than perceived. Gladwell talks about how rich parents have a hard time raising their children because it is hard to say no, but people often think the opposite. Gladwell also writes about class sizes determining grades. Date: August 28, 2014

Malcolm Gladwell continues to use very interesting facts in his writng, including how choosing a college can determine your success. I enjoyed these facts, but the book has gotten a bit repetitive and it is hard to see the relations to David and Goliath. I did enjoy reading the book for the most part. Date: September 2, 2014

Malcolm Gladwell writes about examples of "Davids" that beat "Goliath". He mentions that unusual tactics are often used when this happens. He uses Lawrence of Arabia's troops, a girls youth basketball league, and Fordham's miraculous win over Dr. J's Umass team as examples. Date: August 27,2014

Malcolm Gladwell starts off by telling the very famous Biblical story of David and Goliath with a twist. Malcolm Gladwell is able to use his excellent examples and his thorough research to show how Goliath was the underdog, citing that Goliath had a growth problem caused by a benign tumor and was expecting hand-to-hand combat. Its a excellent book so far, and I am excited to get further into it.
