Tuesday Write #12

Malcolm Gladwell has mastered the art of looking past what meets the eye and gaining a deeper understanding for his subject. In all the TED Talks we watched in class Malcolm Gladwell took something relatively normal, and went in depth and related it to things completely out of the norm. 

Malcolm Gladwell's "David and Goliath" TED Talk

Malcolm Gladwell goes deeper than the surface to find endless possibilities, explanations, and connections to whatever he is researching. In Malcolm's talk about spaghetti sauce rather than just explaining his story about spaghetti sauce he went on to show the importance of what happened and connect it to everyday life. In his talk about the Norden Bombsight he didn't just explain why it was important, he saw what would have been overlooked by anyone else.
