Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics. As it happens, Feldman’s accidental study provides a window on

to a form of cheating that has long stymied academics: white-collar crime. (Yes, shorting the bagel man is white-collar crime, writ however small.) It might seem ludicrous to address as large and intractable a problem as white-collar crime through the life of a bagel man. But often a small and simple question can help chisel away at the biggest problems. Despite all the attention paid to rogue companies like Enron, academics know very little about the practicalities of white-collar crime. The reason? There are no good data. A key fact of white-collar crime is that we hear about only the very slim fraction of people who are caught cheating. Most embezzlers lead quiet and theoretically happy lives; employees who steal company property are rarely detected. What purpose does the “bagel man” serve in this argument? to shift the focus toward a specific man to entertain the reader with a funny story to show the seriousness of cheating to shed light on white-collar crime

Why might you compare a handsome gentleman to a book? Give three reasons.<br> please and thank you:)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

You could compare a handsome gentleman to a book because they both hold the characteristics of being:

  • Mysterious- you cannot judge books nor man by their cover. Underneath their "cover" they can be an array of things. Perhaps you wanted a Dystopian novel but you got some humor along with it. Perhaps you wanted a man with confidence, but you got charisma instead with a soft interior. They are similar.
  • Well Mannered- Books are cultured, they hold knowledge and present information from an intreresting perspective. So do gentlemen, they are cultured and hold information.
  • Effective at Communicating- Books are known for their words. They are able to communicate their message. So can men, if you are a gentleman you are supposed to be good with words- silver-tongued some may say.

Anyway, I hope that helped even though it wasn't put together well. Have a good day!
