Chapter 5 & 6 David & Goliath
After reading David and Goliath, Chapter 5, please answer the following questions:
1) Section two of chapter five discusses the odd reactions of the Londoners to the Blitz. Not only were the Londoners stoic, but Gladwell notes “Civilians from other countries also turned out to be unexpectedly resilient in the face of bombing” (130). Gladwell provides some evidence and explanation for the reaction from an outside source, what is the source and why is it credible?
2) In section three, we finally get to Gladwell’s thesis for the chapter. What is his argument, and how does he tie it to the previous chapter?
3) Gladwell talks about society’s assumptions about obstacles like dyslexia and trauma. As he explains it, what does society assume?
Chapter 6:
In the 1960s, who was in control of Birmingham, Alabama? Why was it a dangerous place and time for the civil rights movement? Gladwell uses the metaphor of Brer Rabbit, or the “trickster hero,” in this chapter. How does this story compare to the events in the chapter? Explain the parallel here. Wyatt Walker’s methods of protest got a lot of criticism. What did people object to?
