Reread the paragraph below from “Revenge of the Geeks.”

That’s not to say, of course, that popularity in high school necessarily leads to mediocrity or worse in adulthood. But neither is there necessarily something wrong with a student merely because he is excluded by classmates. We don’t view a saxophonist as musically challenged if he can’t play the violin. He’s just a different kind of musician. A sprinter is still an athlete even if she can’t play basketball. She’s a different kind of athlete. Similarly, we might acknowledge that students who don’t follow the popular crowd’s lead aren’t any less socially successful; they’re just a different kind of social.

A claim is a proposition that an author puts forward. He supports his claim with pieces of evidence to convince the audience of his stance. The claim that the author puts forward in this sentence is this;

  • The social behavior of students is not a determinant of their success in life or an indicator of a problem.
  • To support her claim, the author gives examples to show that people can have different skills and still thrive in them. They are just different from others.
  • Her reasoning is strong because it clearly shows that people are different. So, if they do not conform to the normal social behavior it does not mean that they have a problem.
  • The connections are clear and logical because one can see that people have different abilities, therefore, they cannot all have the same social behavior.

In the excerpt above, the author puts forward the claim that whether students are popular or unpopular in school does not matter or determine how socially successful they are.

People are different and this is highlighted in the different career occupations that people have.
