Another way that these texts are similar is the topic of the content, which is the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the mass killing of people who were Jewish, Homosexual, disabled or Gypsie by the Nazis, throughout Europe during the 1930-40

The word “lose” invokes a depressing feeling because it emphasizes the influential message Chris is presented with as he grows up: loss is acceptable and is something he should become accustomed to. Gladwell goes on to explaining the rest of Chris’ life with descriptions of similar relationships to the one mentioned above, including unfavorable roommates with poor morales. The ongoing precise descriptions of Langan’s horrible life continue to target the reader's emotions. Although the appeal to emotion may steer the reader away from faults in Langan’s logic, this appeal to emotion is used with the intent to make the author’s point about Langan’s life easy to follow. The keen attention to word choices make the emotions stand out to the reader and reside in them. Using a similar approach, Gladwell demonstrates the lack of support that may exist within relationships between children and working class parents. Gladwell explains: “Katie Brindle - sang in a choir after school. But she signed up for it herself and walked to choir practice on her own. Laureau writes: .

Many people tend to have lazy and carefree attitudes when given the option. Those types of people procrastinate until the very last minute, and are usually viewed as having childish personality traits. In the beginning of “Flight” by John Steinbeck, the main character, Pepé, fits this description well. Pepé’s mother, Mama Torres, antagonizes Pepé with remarks about his laziness, “Some lazy cow must have got into thy father’s family, else how could I have a son like thee” (Steinbeck 455). She never said anything optimistic to Pepé to make him feel like a man, until he was forced to become one. Pepé had gone to Monterey to fetch medicine and salt for Mama Torres, where he ended up murdering a man. He came back to tell his mother what had happened, and she urged him to take off on a journey to flee from his pursuers, which resulted in his inevitable death. John Steinbeck used strong symbols and motifs in “Flight” to coincide with the themes of coming of age and inevitable death.

In Sherry Turkle’s article “The Flight from Conversation,” she emphasizes that technology has given us the chance to be comfortable with not having any real-life connections and allowing our devices to change society’s interactions with each other.
