Delroy Demontegnac
Motown Music, Money, Sex and Power by Gerald Posner
Chapter 4-6
5) Comments I have:
1. Gordy and Davis put together a small stable of local singers to help make Motown become successful.
2. At the beginning of Motown Gordy was paid about thirty dollars weekly which was still low for him.
3. Gordy moved his cooperation to Gwen’s’ Large apartment, because he wanted to be independent and get more money which it led to more of a success.
4. Gordy then start to need money to press albums for artistes
5. Gordy help pays his family loans and lives with them but after the business becoming more successful it creates less stress with paying money and working for money.
4) Insightful questions I have:
1) Is he going to get married?
2) Does he have a girlfriend?
3) Is the Motown still a big hit?
4) Does a person go through struggles like this to become on top?

3) Vocabulary:
1. Reluctantly (33) - unwilling.
2. Frantically (30) - Highly excited with strong emotion or frustration.
3. Bobbed (35) - a short, jerky motion.
2) Examples of literary terms:
1. “We got out by the skin of our teeth.”(30) This is a form of a personification because it’s trying to share characteristics of teeth having skin.
2. “A local lawyer warned him that even so, his new business would be undercapitalized and doomed to failure.”(32) This is an example of man vs. man conflict because many people think that he can’t make it and having negative dough’s about him.
1) Summary:
This is when he tried putting his time in working at his Motown Cooperation working with Davis then went on his own and moved.
