“ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness” (41). What he was referring to here, is something I had never formerly acknowledged.

My ambiguity regarding Gladwell’s philosophy behind the ten thousand hour rule quickly vanished. As Gladwell presented numerous prominent figures of whom exemplified this notion, his idea started to become more clear. Gladwell’s story of The Beatles

START FROM THE BEGINNING: Chronological Order There are many ways to tell a story. Some stories start in the middle and flash backward to the beginning; a few start at the end and tell the story in reverse. But most of the time, stories start at the beginning.

narrators. The narrator is faced with the concept of bravely facing his darkest hour where he discovers how it feels to life with fear and uncertainty about his future and watch while time takes him as a prisoner.

Theme- In the story, “When Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar”, the main theme is stating that it’s better to give than to receive. At the beginning when the men are getting their horse and are about to leave the Old Man’s house Dick Bullen asks, “can you make it? -- it’s nigh on fifty miles, the round trip hither and yon” (10). This implies the men are going somewhere for someone or something, however it doesn't state where. Later Dick is on his way back from Tuttleville, “But the brawling creek

We all know and love the story of Anne Frank and her famous diary. Her story seems one of a kind, yet with Netherlands State Institution for War Documents already had about 200 similar diaries in 1946 (before Anne's diary was even published), and her own sister wrote a similar diary.

weeks. Professors did not cancel any classes or final exams. My three hour proctored exams were held on campus at 8 pm with a minus ten degree wind chill factor. Critical thinking skills were required to figure out how to make the ten mile drive into campus with no car and no taxis running.
