A parallel between The Great Gatsby and Chapter one of Outliers is that in both books people are described as having an advantage over others. In the Great Gatsby, Jay and other people who live with this incredible wealth were given this advantageous time to make incredible wealth in addition to other characters already having generational wealth. In Outlier, the hockey players were described as having an advantage over others due to their birthdays being in the first 6 months of the year. - CJ

A parallel that i notice between the book ¨The Outliers¨ and the book ¨The Great Gatsby¨ is that in the great gatsby they spoke about old money and new money, old money being generation money where you were born in a rich family. New money being they werent rich before but they became rich. This relates to the passage because the people that were born late in the year can stand for new money, and the people born earlier in the year can stand for old money. - sabrina

The outliers and Great Gatsby can be related because the age of Gatsby is older then Daisy. It's parallel to the hockey players because Gatsby is older so he had more time to become successful. The older hockey players had more time to get better and practice more.

In both stories the great gatsby and the outliners they talk about how successful people get a advantage over others due to inheritance of success and the environment they surround themselves in. For example in the story outliners it talks about how people apart of the younger age category in a group are more likely to grow up better at a subject than the older part of the group, we see this when a study of in the article shows that people born in the oct-december range are more likely to depressed or umotivated faster due to them falling behind in academics. In the Great Gatsby we can see how successful people have an advantage over the others because the East Egg has traditional wealth which has gotten larger over centuries compared to the West Egg which is new money, the old money gets an advantage over the new money.

The novel “The great gatsby” is similar to the story, “outliers” because “in outliers, I want to convince you that these kinds of personal explanations of success dont work. People don't rise from nothing.” This line from the outliers is similar to Gatsby's character because he had all rumors about him, shaping him as a person.

Chapter 1 of outliers is similar to the great Gatsby by showing how people achieve success. In Outliers, Chapter 1 talks about how different months and age effects how someone succeeds. This is similar to the Great Gatsby because Gatsby is older. He has experience with wealth and success. He has privilege with his money and the way he lives. In contrast, Tom is a little younger and had to work for his wealth and success. He has had a different experience with success than Gatsby. These 2 pieces are similar by showing how people achieve success. This is shown in Gatsby by how their age effects their wealth and in Outliers, how their birthday effects their performance and maturity.

A parallel between Chapter 1 of Outliers and the Great Gatsby is the rate of success in people. In the first chapter of outliers, it talks about the success rate of athletes depending on what month they were born in, and not just their talent but their advantages in life. In the novel The Great Gatsby, Gatsby along with the other characters are extremely successful in their wealth and economic status, where they started off large and continued to get bigger in their class because of their initial advantages that they began with. For example, Gatsby's wealth, he went from having everything from when he was little to having even more at a later time, because of his age, experience, and higher advtanges.

Chapter one of the outliers can be related to the Great Gatsby because an idea presented in both is that your background can heavily influence your success. This is shown through Gatsby and Tom’s background how he came about to be so successful. Another example would be the discussion about age. Gatsby and Daisy have a 9 year age gap, and Gatsby and Tom are 5 years apart. When men were drafted for the war, Gatsby was called but not Tom due to their age. Ultimately this allowed Tom to get Daisy instead of Gatsby.

A parallel between Outliers and Great Gatsby is that people that were born into wealth or born with their birthdays at a younger date got advantages that others did not and the disadvantaged people had to work for success. Another parallel is how people were treated differently based on their amount of wealth or the date of their birthdays

Chapter 1 of outliers can be related to the Great Gatsby because they both talk about how some people have advantages over others. For example, Tom was born into wealth so when he became an adult he was also wealthy, while others had to work for and earn their money. In outliers, some players were born in the beginning of the year so they had an advantage over the hockey players that were born in the later months. - Malaine

Chapter 1 of the outliers and the great gatsby both lead to the point that certain people in the world have certain advantages, and tend to have more success than others. While other people live with certain disadvantages in life and struggle to create wealth. Also it shows the point that being born earlier can give you a leg up compared to others for example the people in east egg have had more time to accumulate wealth, compared to many of the people who live in west egg.

The parallel between the outliers and The Great Gatsby is the comparison of age, and the comparison of new money and old money. In the book there are two types of rich people. New money and old money, those who were in the old money factor are considered superior than those who are in the New money factor. In the same way the Outliers show how the age effects your skill and how you can get a head start for having earlier birthdays. Old money and new money are both having or owning a lot of money, but there's a difference and a slight benefit in being Old money rather than new money.

A parallel between chapter 1 of the outliers and The Great Gatsby is that both people got some advantages. Gatsby believed that Tom had an advantage over other people because he was born into riches. This is like the hockey players that are born with an advantage, like being born a couple months earlier. This gives them a slight advantage over other people and lets them be more successful like Tom. -Jake

An example of a parallel between The Great Gatsby and chapter one of Outliers is how there were people that have been given an advantage in life in both texts. In chapter one of Outliers, it talks about how people with early birthdays have an advantage over those with later birthdays, saying how they “got a big head start” because of them getting the most coaching and practice. This is similar to the people who live in East Egg in the Great Gatsby, such as Tom, who got an advantage in life by being born into generational wealth. In both texts, people who weren’t born with these advantages had to work harder to achieve the same goals. - Aidan L.

there are many parallels between in Chapter 1 of the outliers can be related to the great Gatsby because they are both about giving the upper hand and having an advantage. In the Great Gatsby Tom and Gatsby have the upper hand by being wealthier than many others and in the outliers the hockey players have the upper hand by being born earlier than other kids that were born later.

A parallel of Chapter one of The Outliers and The Great Gatsby, is your background affects your rate of success. In The Outliers, chapter one brings attention professional hockey players born in the earlier months are more likely to succeed. In the Great Gatsby, people have different success rates based on their background. This connects to the nature vs nurture debate in psychology. People are heavily influenced by their environment. Tom had the perks of a rich family and was born ahead and people like Nick, had to struggle to catch up.

A parallel that i notice between the book ¨The Outliers¨ and the book ¨The Great Gatsby¨ is that in the great gatsby they spoke about old money and new money, old money being generation money where you were born in a rich family.

A self -fulfilling prophecy is shown both in The Great Gatsby and The Matthew Effect. This is a psychology term that basically means an individual's expectation will be the outcome of their situation. This can be comparable to how Tom was born wealthy and continued to succeed as well as Gatsby and his inheritance and only turning into greater wealth. The bible quote introduced at the beginning of the excerpt conveys a powerful message about how resources are to be used to advantage, whoever has, will be given more and they will have an abundance, whoever does not have even what they have will be taken from them which can be seen throughout the novel and parallels to the wealth of Tom and Gatspy. In chapter 5 Gatspy mentions how Nick struggles a bit financially and tries to help him to succeed yet Nick declines because he doesnt wanna be involved in potential crime that could be Gatsby's business.

Chapter 1 of the outliers is connected to the great gatsby because both stories show a pursuit of success. The Great Gatsby tells you that Jay is new money meaning he had to make it all himself and it wasn't handed to him. But in the outliers chapter 1 discusses hockey and Matthew's reasoning for the people born early in the year to be better at hockey then the rest. Meaning others have to work harder and prove their skill.

Chapter one of the outliers can be related to the Great Gatsby because the outliers talk about how when people are born earlier they have a better advantage. This can relate to the Great Gatsby because in the Great Gatsby Tom and Gastby were born into wealthy families. Also because Gatsby was born earlier so he got selected for the war which is the reason that him and Daisy werent together. Which shows the disadvantages and advantages of being born earlier.

I think that a parallel between chapter one of Outliers and The Great Gatsby is how certain people had advantages over other people. For example, in The Great Gatsby there were the people that were born into wealth and didn’t have to work for a single dime in their life and then there were the others who had to work their whole life for their wealth and didn’t come from money. Another example from Outliers is how there were players with earlier birthdays who had an advantage over the other players who didn’t have an earlier birthday.

Chapter 1 of the Outliers relates to The Great Gatsby because it connects with how you have an advantage when you're born. For example, Tom and Gatsby were born into rich families which gave them an advantage to live a rich life. In the Outlier children that are born in the earlier months of the year have an advantage in academics/sports over other kids their age.

Chapter 1 of “Outliers” shows that success often depends on external factors like timing and opportunity, not just talent. This connects with “The Great Gatsby”, where Gatsby's rise of power begins to highlight how wealth and certain situations can shape one's success. Both the Great Gatsby and Outliers emphasize the ideas that success is influenced more by the environment and situations than by personal effort alone.

Chapter 1 of Outliers can be related to The Great Gatsby because they both include how some people have an advantage over others.  In the Outliers this is shown through the hockey players who had early birthdays.  In the Great Gatsby this can be related to Tom Buchanan because he was born into a wealthy family.  However, there are people who aren’t as blessed like Gatsby and the hockey players that have late birthdays.

Aidan

Both books are related because they both talk about how beginnings will give you advantages in the long run. Tom Buchanan came from a rich family therefore leading it to be more likely that he is rich and he is. It talks about how hockey players born earlier have more of an advantage and this is the same with Tom just with money. Both these books talk about how advantages early in your life can lead to more success later in life

Jake M

It can be related because chapter 1 of the outliers explains that people with an advantage continue to have advantages and people with disadvantages continue to have disadvantages. Also if you have an earlier birthday you are more likely to be more developed than other people. In the great gatsby tom came from a wealthy family so it's more likely that he will continue to be rich

Matthew

There are many parallels between The Great Gatsby and Outliers but one that I can think of is the hockey players. The hockey players birthdays are all in the first 6 months of the year because Tom thought that if you were born in those months you had a head start. Another parallel is that both books focus on having an upper hand. Gatsby believes that since Tom was born into wealth he has an advantage.

Joe

In chapter 1 of Outliers can be related to The Great Gatsby because in both stories is talks about getting a better hand for example in Great Gatsby people with were born wealth got a better hand in life because there family could pay for there living and career but if they are born poor they can't be as successful this is also shown in the Outliers because people who are dealt a better hand and being born earlier in the they are usually better at hockey

Luca

I think that a parallel between chapter one of the Outliers and the Great Gatsby is that both the people being described in these books got an advantage over other people that they did deserve. In the Great Gatsby, people got wealth that they were born into and barely had to work for it. The people in Outliers had an earlier birthday which have them an advantage over the over kids their age.
