Essay 6 Underdog stories are almost like folklore; they provide inspiration for all people, saying that even if you are not advantaged you should be able to succeed. However, are successful underdogs really disadvantaged and are the “favorites” really advantaged? Malcolm Gladwell in David and Goliath argues that the underdogs may be the advantaged ones and the favorites may be the disadvantaged ones by analyzing several case studies which contain either hidden advantages for the Davids or the unknown disadvantages for the Goliaths.
