The tipping point part a: what is the authors purpose in this text

Gladwell's main purpose for writing this novel is to inform the general public about memetics and its related concepts through relatable anecdotes and pop cultural references in order to further illustrate this complex theory to an average reader.

Explanation: This is what Gladwell calls a tipping point. As the name of the book implies, tipping points are Gladwell's focus. If we accept his premise that social phenomena act as epidemics, then studying when the tipping point in the epidemic occurs seems to be the most illustrative way to understand the epidemic. The main idea or central idea in "The Tipping Point" is similarities between social phenomena and diseases show the significance small changes can have on overall social trends.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
