Elite vs. Non-Elite Institutions

In the chapter “Caroline Sacks” by Malcolm Gladwell from Caroline Sacks the book, Caroline Sacks and the impressionists have two different options between Elite and Non-Elite Institutions . In the cases of Caroline and the Impressionists choice Brown university and Salon is are [s-v] the Elite Institutions and University of Maryland and Solo exhibition is are [s-v] Non-Elite Institutions. Caroline Sacks and the impressionists choose different ways. So Caroline Sacks chooses to enter Elite Institutions, and the impressionists don’t choose Elite Institutions. They choose a Non-Elite Institutions. The results [+pl] are Caroline Sacks drops [s-v] her major, and the impressionists are successful. In this object we learning how to consider their own abilities and need to make a right choice. Comment by Jenny Simon: Title of book?

For this purpose, the impressionists and Caroline Sacks have the same choice between Elite and Non-Elite Institutions. Caroline Sacks lived on the farthest side [+wc] of the Washington DC. She has been interested in science. Caroline always are the best student in her school Sacks sailed through high school at the top of her class. In the second year of her high school, Her father and hershe and her father [w-o] use three days to look around five universities , andand the [+det] most interesting university is Brown university [r-o]. “It is small and exclusive, situated in the middle of a nineteenth-century neighborhood of redbrick Georgian and Colonial buildings on the top of a gently sloping hill. It might be the most beautiful college campus in the United States”( Gladwell 7040). Finally she decides that Brown University is her first choice, and the University of Maryland as her backup. Brown University is the an [/det] Ivy league university in the United States. But University of Maryland is not an elite private university. Another story is from one hundred and fifty years ago.the. the The Impressionists are not so popular, because “the Impressionists had an entirely different idea about what constituted art [r-o]. They painted everyday life. “Their brushstrokes were visible. Their figures were indistinct. To the Salon jury and the crowds thronging the Palais, their work looked amateurish, even shocking” (Gladwell 64 39).The Salon was the most important in the word, but the Impressionist don’t have a chance to show their own painting. The Impressionists have been discussing to join the salon or make their own art exhibition. Comment by Jenny Simon: Try to use your own words.

Whit With [sp] this object, Caroline Sacks and the Impressionists make a different choice, between little fish is in [sp] the Big Pond and big fish in small Pond, t These two kinds of different choices [wc, pl] is that former has more opportunity than the latter;, at the same time that has more pressure than the latter [r-o]. So Caroline Sacks choose to go to Brown university. S,she decides [s-v] to be a little fish in the Big Pond [r-o].She thinks [s-v] “Brown is a member of the Ivy League. It has more resources , more academically able student, more prestige, and more accomplished faculty than the university of Maryland”(Gladwell 7126). Caroline's [wf] chooses choice [wf] to enter Brown university is very correct, because everyone wants to get the best of things. Aa although the results are not the same as she had expected [frag]. However, The Impressionists choose to be a big fish in the Big Pond. The impressionists consider “Aalthough the Salon is most famous in the world but it very difficult to be the best in this Salon. “If they were off by themselves and held their own show, they wouldn't be bound by the restrictive rules of the salon.”(21 Gladwell 7221).[/cit] May be most people think art exhibition is not the right decision. But the impressionists adhere to their own choice, and they get the unexpected result. Finally, Caroline [sp] Sacks decides to go to Brown university and the Impressionists made their own art exhibition.

In this objectAs a result [wc], Elite Institutions should more successful, But Caroline Sacks and the Impressionists get the opposite result. In the first year of Brown university Caroline met trouble in [+prep]her chemistry class . Bbecause she chooses [s-v] a lot of classes and these classes brought huge pressure [frag]. and Also, she compares [s-v] herself [+pro] whit with [sp] other students [+pl], and this compare comparison [wf] lets [s-v] her [+pro] think she is not a good student. From these reasons [+pl] she drops her chemistry class. In the second year she retakes [s-v] this class, but she didn’t get good grade. In the spring semester she enrolled in organic chemistry. “She was a Little Fish in one of the deepest and most competitive ponds in the country- and the experience of comparing herself to all the other brilliant fish shattered her confidence”(32 Gladwell 7732).[/cit] Otherwise The Impressionists made their own art exhibition. This art exhibition have took place over [wc] one month time and 150 paintings on display. First The [+det] first day have there were the 157 people to watch this art. After one month, They they have the 3500 people join to the art exhibition. They got a lot of positive evaluation, but also have some bad evaluation. “In the history of modern, there has never been a more important or more famous exhibition.” (16 Gladwell 7516)Until now, impressionist impressionism [wf] was has been [vt] one of [+det, prep] the most popular art forms in the world.

This lesson I learned, sometimes being [vf] a Big Fish in a Little Pond is better than be a Little Fish in a Big Pond. Simultaneously different choices [+pl] can bring the different results [+pl]. But elite Institutions sometimes cannot help you become sussexsuccessful [wf], and also bring the huge pressure for you. Consider their own abilities and needs, to choose the most suitable for their own is the most correct choice.
