The Tipping Point

Hello, students! You should be well into The Tipping Point by now. It's been quite interesting thus far. I especially like the part about Paul Revere, which has been a nice add-on to my previous knowledge of him and the onset of the American Revolutionary War. Cool stuff!

With that said, here is an extra credit question for you. Be reminded that I will not award extra credit if your answer is not backed with direct quotations from the book, nor will you receive credit for answers that are grammatically incorrect. My suggestion is for you to type your response in Microsoft Word, then proof and edit it there, then copy and paste into the comment section. OK, here is the question:

Think of the qualities of a CONNECTOR, MAVEN and SALESMAN. Name a modern-day person whom you believe to be a CONNECTOR, one you believe to be a MAVEN, and one you believe to be a SALESMAN. Be sure to support your answer with SPECIFIC details from both the book AND your observations. Please do not state the obvious. I want you to reach a little!

SMILE!
