Essays / Celebrating Nerdiness - Tom Rogers [8]

Hi guys,

I hope you can help me out.

What is the main idea of this article? newsweek.com/id/104847

For me, I feel that it's about how nerds have a tough time in school/ are left out from the school population BECAUSE they are different i.e. they preserve their authenticity and "kept it real".

However, my friends say that I am wrong. Help.

Yikes so I got it wrong. =X

So this article's main idea is about how nerds should remain the way they are because they are viewed by the society (in the long run) as intelligent and successful people?

How do I create a thesis on this?

how does this article tackle the issue of authenticity vs. the need to maintain stereotype image??

Thanks but is there anything in this article which talks about the need to maintain stereotype image? I can't seem to find any.

Sorry, I'm pretty new at this. :x
