When one woman used her middle name, she felt better and her professional achievement improved. A magazine refused to print the writer's name because it suited a baseball player more than an art expert.

2 Book Two Unit Six Section A: As His Name Is. So Is He! Preview This writer describes ways names can make a difference. When one woman used her middle name, she felt better and her professional achievement improved. A magazine refused to print the writer’s name because it suited a baseball player more than an art expert. At a party, another woman was uncomfortable: the man she wanted the writer to introduce her was the same one she had refused a blind date because of his name. The writer thinks we often assign name prejudices to people. One classroom study showed teachers gave lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed. Similarly, girl’s popularity can relate to their names. So the writer suggests if your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name. Text Structure Analysis: We find that the main idea of the passage is: People’s names are related to their achievements or behavior. The main idea is supported by two viewpoints or opinions: Name can affect classroom achievement and other sources also make classroom differences. Then the first viewpoint or: opinion is supported by a comparison between the grades scored by teachers to the same papers with only different names. The second viewpoint turns out to be a bit more than the first one as it is supported by two comparisons instead of one. The first comparison is that students with“good” names performed better than those with less appealing names. And the second comparison is that girls’ popularity in relation to the popularity of their names is much clearer than that of the boys. People’s names are related to their achievements or behavior. Apparently, teacher’s prejudices can affect classroom achievement as well. However, teacher prejudice isn’t the only source of classroom difference. In a study conducted by Herbert Harari of San Diego State University, and John McDavid of Georgia State University, teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays supposedly to have been written by boys named Elmer and Hubert than they awarded to the same papers when the author’s names were given as Michael and David. 1. Dr. Thomas V. Busse and Louisa Seraydarian of Temple University found those girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, Carol, and Cindy performed better on objectively graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. 2. A companion study showed girls’ popularity with their peers was also related to the popularity of their names -- although the connection was less clear for boys
