Blog post 2: Synthesis

People have advantages for everything, but especially activities. When it comes to activities, there’s endless advantages that people could have. For example, someone could have longer legs for running faster. Or someone could be more experienced than you. Anything could make an advantage for something.

In the chapter, “The Matthew Effect.” There was an advantage. The author explained about a hockey team and how most of the people on the team had birthdays in January, February, and March. The advantage about this is that the people with a birthday at the beginning of the year get more experience since they’ve been on earth a while longer. The author also explained how one tree hasn’t been intruded or destroyed while it’s growing. The tree also had the advantage of having better soil, more sunlight, and avoids being chopped down or ruined. The author was explaining that the tree was like a person with an advantage. Agreeing with the author, some people do have advantage weather it was that they were born earlier or with a feature that helps them. These were convincing sources since that people really do have advantages like the examples the author explained.
