    Summary Of The End By Alex Bumberg

    In the end, Alex Bumberg asks Russ Feingold why no one is pushing for a change in the system. His response, though it could be described as disheartening, is something that I can understand. “It’s the system, and it’s the water in which we swim…[they] were elected under the system...It’s hard to get people to change something after they win that way.” It is crushing to think that Congress could be so corrupt. But any system can be difficult to challenge, especially when it benefits so many people with so much influence. Bumberg points out how many of the politicians and lobbyists they spoke to hate the mess that is political fundraising. I honestly don’t think I understand the system well enough to fully appreciate that these individuals who…

    Summary Of Outlier By Malcolm Gladwell

    In Outlier, Malcolm Gladwell argues an “opportunity” is the important key which lead people from one success to another success (5). He proves his point to the readers by an example that seems normal to a strong evidence about the “physical maturity” in which affect by the birth month gap (24). I agree with him about the meaning of an outlier who must “do things that are out of the ordinary” (17) and those “genuine outlier” hockey players “didn’t start out an outlier”, yet “he started out just a little bit better” (31). His viewpoint about those sport games not only precisely substantiate, but it also exactly justify the impact of family background that certainly affect individuals’ success.
