Throughout this text, Rachel and Hewitt experience racial issues. In the beginning, Rachel states she did not realize that, by marrying Hewitt, she would become a member of the Interracial Couples group. At first, it seems that Rachel is against this, as she calls the group “mewling” and “defensive”. However, she rectifies herself when she states that they have reason to do so, as she has seen from her own circumstances how microaggressions can make people defensive. For example, Rachel states “Everywhere I went with Hewitt, strangers commented- in subtle and not so subtle ways- on the fact of our unlikely union: me, a white woman, married to him, a black man.”
In Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell, he proves there are numerous factors that which influences the success of failure. To support his idea, he uses examples to demonstrate there are no outliers when it comes to personal success stories. First example is the cut-off date of the Canadian Hockey League, how Bill Gates and the Beatles spent at least 10,000 hours practicing or working on their expertise. In addition, he uses the stories of Chris Langan, and Robert Oppenheimer to compare how one can succeed and how we can fail whether we have extremely high IQs or not. Furthermore, Gladwell utilizes the story of Joseph Flom to show how he was able to build a successful law firms because he wasn’t able to get hired because of racial discrimination.

This plot is one like no other. It combines the supernatural and the regular world, into an impactful novel in verse, that discusses empowering motifs such as gun violence and community influence on personal identity. In the novel Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds the protagonist, Will Holloman, had a brother, Shawn, who recently died due to gun violence. Will lives in an immensely toxic community, where violence is encouraged, and where brutal murders are normalized. In Will's community, there are three unwritten rules that must be followed by everyone.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to be granted with opportunities-- a chance at success. Even then, not everyone is able to utilize them to the fullest -- if the person even takes advantage of it at all. Granted, if the opportunity was even realized in the first place. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, essentially defines an outlier as a person that takes advantage of a set of opportunities presented to them. These sets of opportunities are not available to everyone and Wes Moore, the author of The Other Wes Moore, happens to be one of the few were fortunate enough to have a set of opportunities prepare him for success.
Chapters 3 and 4 of The Outliers (Gladwell, 2008) serve to further prove that there is more to success than society believes. It is a common notion that higher accomplishments are granted to individuals with extreme talent and persistence. Gladwell argues there are uncontrollable circumstances on the pathway to success that the general public overlooks. Gladwell aims to target audiences who are unaware of the minuscule factors that shape a person’s future. The purpose of The Outliers is to inspire his readers to think of an individual more critically: “”They had to look beyond an individual.

First Sarah and I reviewed the demand of gas throughout the years in PADD 1 to see if we can see any noticeable changes in demand and then see if we could correlate those to changes in prices. The first trend we were able to find was that the demand for gas would usually slightly raise in the summer but we could not correlate this to a change in price. This is because, as we read in the additional information provided, people tend to take more vacations and be more active in summer causing a higher demand of gas.
Well the word skedaddle is mostly seen in the book after Jeanette’s parents decided to leave the place their currently staying at again, for the hundredth time. Jeanette describes a situation where her dad was insisting in packing everything they needed and leaving right away; or what Jeanette’s dad liked to say “doing the skedaddle”. At some point Jeanette describes a situation in which the “skedaddle” was insulted and her father, Rex, snapped because he wanted no complaints about this ritual.

After Jeanette and her sibling were given these explanations they wouldn’t bother with what is happening they would
As an inelastic product, gasoline always is needed. If the price of gasoline rises by 1% and the quantity demanded falls by 0.2%, gasoline price elasticity of demand is -0.2. (Kevin, 2010) As mentioned above, due to the lack of substitutes for gasoline the necessity will still be there.
DETERMINANTS OF SUPPLY CURVE 1. COST OF PRODUCTION: An increase in the cost of inputs of production such as sugar, caffeine and colors causes an increase in the cost of production. This means that an increase in cost will cause the supplier less willing to supply at a given rate. An increase in cost resulting from shortage of ingredients or disruption of supply is one of the common reasons why the suppliers cannot supply the product at a given price thus shifting the supply curve from S1 to S2.Adverse climatic fluctuations results in low productivity of agriculture which in turn affects Coca Cola.
