When I first think if the kinds of reading that I usually do such as the Twilight Series, not very many simularities come to mind when I think of the Tipping Point.
A comparison that I can think of is Bella(main character in Twilight) shares many of her thoughts with the reader. Gladwell shares a lot of his thoughts with us as well. Another thing that I think of when comapring and contrasting the Twilight series vs. the Tipping Point is Gladwell and Bella have many accounts with several other people. They let us know what those other people are thinking, and what they think those other people may be thinking as well. Twilight makes several referances to other famous romance novels such as Romeo and Juliet as well as Withering Heights and Pride and Prejudice. Gladewell makes severeal referances as well. As for contrasts or differences there are many I can think of. Twilight is a narrative, where as in the tipping point Gladwell doesn't have dialouge with other people he mentions or comes across in the book. Twilight is a fictional novel where as the Tipping Point is not. Twilight has romance in it,and even though we did not get too far in our reading, I doubt there is going to be a sotry about star-crossed lovers in The Tipping Point.
