the relationship between mindset and success: Dweck’s use of examples or stories
and what they reveal about her views of success.
Write a thoughtful, insightful, and coherent essay about what Dweck’s stories of success (or
failure) reveal. Pick 4 or 5 examples or stories Dweck writes about and describe, analyze, and
evaluate HOW she uses these stories and examples to support her views about the relationship
between our mindset and success. Some questions to consider are: how does she view success,
and what do you think of her views on the topic? Does she take seriously the obstacles or
social circumstances (racism, poverty/wealth, and sexism, for example) to achieving success?
Are her strategies for achieving success plausible or doable? Why or why not? Etc. Please feel
free to come up with additional questions related to this topic!
