  • What do you think about the following quote from the chapter (agree, disagree, why?):
    • “The real depressing thing is that if you don’t get to these people before the age of three of four or five, it’s not going to make any difference in what they do. They’ve struck out before they even started kindergarten. I don’t see [execution] as saying anything about that” (145).

On Fighting

  • What is the central claim in this chapter? How do you know? Choose the sentence that you consider to be the thesis or central idea.
  • Why is this chapter effective? (or ineffective?) How does Gawande draw his audience in to his argument? Pick one or two strategies he uses. How can you use them in your own writing?

The Bell Curve

  • In “The Bell Curve,” Gawande makes several claims about how we should improve health care. What is one of these claims?
  • What are the reasons behind the claim that you chose?
  • How might these reasons change if he were addressing the board of a hospital? How might the reasons change if he were addressing a government entity?

Any Chapter

  • You may also answer the following questions for any chapter:
    • What is effective about Gawande’s writing? Choose a specific passage (if it is longer than 4 lines, just summarize it and give the page number) and explain why it is effective. How might you incorporate this strategy in your own work?
