The Tipping Point

The Tipping Point - Unit IV

There is an efficient way to spread ideas or points of view everywhere, that is also considered as an epidemic affecting some specific group. This is exactly what Malcom Gladwell explains in his writing, "The Tipping Point".

In this unit we read discussions about customer's reviews of Malcom Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" and some questions deeply caught my attention, such as:
1. How do advertisers get us to buy a product or go see movies?
2. Why do people suddenly stop doing something the way they have always done it?

Nobody can deny how someone's opinions affect our lives in a direct or indirect way.
So, there are 3 reviewer's comments about Malcom Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" on page 73 of the North Star 5 listening and Speaking Book. The Hush Puppies, a kind of shoes which had been unfashionable for many years. But once, a cool kids started wearing Hush Puppies in New York City and telling all their friends about them and the result was that expert designers adored those cool Hush Puppies and got them to the industry. The funniest thing is that those shoes had been available for ages but but nobody seems to have seen them until the time the cool kids in New York City stated wearing them, Awesome. That experience deeply describe what Tipping Point is.

Adverb Clauses of Result: Adverb clauses of result with such...that and so...that present the result of a situation that is stated in the first clause. Let see this: If I say "It was so cold today", I have a simple sentence, but if I add "that we couldn't go out" I have an adverb clause of result. As simple as that! In simple words an adverb clause of result is a simple clause that point out the consequences that brings "the action" we are talking about. I have to say I use this grammar point when talking, but I never thought I was using "Adverb clauses of result". In addition, I did it wrong in the midterm, but at least now I know what the professor was talking about on it.
