1 answer:

7 0

In the book "Outliers: The Story of Success" by Malcolm Gladwell, the author tells the story of Christopher Langan. Langan was about to participate in a game show called "1 vs. 100," which tested the contestant's knowledge of trivia against that of 100 random people in the "mob." The author argues that Langan was "superbly qualified" for this task because of his incredible intelligence.

Some of the reasons why Langan was considered brilliant are:

An IQ of one ninety-five.
He was speaking by the age of six months.
He got a perfect score on his SATs, even though he fell asleep during the test.

How does the phrase “like a lamb to the slaughter” apply to August Pullman?

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Oh, I loved the book Wonder!

“Like a lamb to the slaughter” refers to Auggie having been home-schooled by his parents in an effort to protect him from the taunts and bullying that comes with having a terrible facial deformity. But Auggie's Mum decides it's time for him to taste the real world. But his Dad refers to the sentence « Like a lamb to the slaughter ». Meaning they’ll be putting August in danger, or in a dangerous and different environment.

In other words: “Like a lamb to the slaughter” refers to Auggie having been home-schooled by his parents in an effort to protect him from the taunts and bullying that comes with having a terrible facial deformity.
