In chapter 6, Ronson first finds himself in Shubuta, Mississippi. He was doing background search on Al Dunlap before interviewing him. Ronson believes that Al Dunalp, a ex-CEO of a toaster corporation, may be a psychopath. Once interviewed, Dunlap agrees to most of Ronson's accusation, but that he's not a psychopath. Ronson meets up with Bob Hare afterwards to talk about Dunlap. Hare and Ronson may believe that Dunlap is a psychopath. Ronson finds out more information concerning Al Dunlap such as his success and misfortune.
Chapter 6 was very long and dragged on about Al Dunlap. The part in this chapter that I found most uninteresting was the last story. It was difficult to understand what "P/E on Nxt FY: 27.5X" meant. It bothered me that Ronson could not explain that in an understanding way. It was interesting to learn about Al Dunlap though. He lead an unusual and powerful life. It is sad that he no longer had the support of his sister and son though. In Chapter 7, Ronson got a chance to review all of his research with his good friend, Adam Curtis. Curtis brought up a really good point to how Ronson might be over thinking all of this. For me, I do have some connection with the checklist (even though I said I didn't want to read it). It is hard to except the truth but at least Ronson realized it with the help of his friend. A story was told in this chapter that made me look it up on Google. Deleese Williams had a chance to get facial surgery from ABC's Extreme Makeover. But after finding out that her family truly saw her as embarrassing and ugly, she was no longer able to have the surgery due to a budgeted schedule. Her story was very sad and made me think how much strangers can have an effect on people. Overall, these two chapters were long but good. I liked it.
