2. The following statements are lifted from the reading. Decide whether you agree or disagree
with the author. If you agree, point out the evidence given by the author that strengthens his
claims. If you disagree, provide evidence from your own experience or research that
disprove his claims. Do not forget to cite your sources.
a. “The business other business of the college is not only to train you, but to put you in
touch with what the best human minds have thought.”
I agree on this statement because for me, going into college is like experiencing
what the world or the state of things are, and this reality makes oneself develop and grow.
When a person enters a college life, making some efforts, then he/she might realize and
learn what is best he/she can do. As the author said “ he had not entered a technical
training school, but a university, and that in universities students enroll for both training
and education.”, what it wanted us to say is that colleges or universities offers us the
chance to improve our skills through self-development which encompasses many things
such as productivity, individual growth and etc., so we can say that the years or the life
we had in our college made us the best now where we can show our skills and
capabilities that we doesn’t know before.
b. “No one gets to be a human being unaided. There is not enough time in a single lifetime
to invent for oneself everything one needs to know in order to be a civilized human.”
I also agree with this statement because when we say civilized human, you are a
person who knows what is right from wrong and you became such because of social and
cultural development. The author stated, “You know more because they left you what
they knew.” Everyone wants to be guided, and for you to be, you must know and begin
with “what the past have learned for you”, it is like starting from the beginning because
everything now has a part in a history. Those things might be a base that could help you
develop a better understanding and such learnings might evolve through process by
yours. If not doing such, there might be uncertainty that would make you confuse and
would lead you to not knowing what you are doing as a student and as a part of a
community.
c. “For a great book is necessarily a gift: it offers you a life you have not time to live
yourself, and it takes you into a world you have not time to travel in literal time.”
I can say that the author and I are of one mind with this statement because when a
person read books, it is not only about the stories, behind these are a lot of experiences
and lessons. Knowing those things is an advantage because we get to know how to live in
a literal time although we have not encounter what the characters have gone through.
Every scenario would be our guide in becoming a useful citizen. The author stated that
“When you have read a book, you have added to your human experience.”. Meaning to
say, we have put ourselves into character, we share laughter or tears with them, we
experience same struggle with them as we go through the reading and etc. and so our
“mind includes a piece of the character’s mind.”
d. “I think it was La Rochefoucauld who said that most people would never fall in love if
they hadn’t read about it. He might have said that no one would ever manage to become a
human if he hadn’t read about it.”
I somehow agree with what La Rochefoucauld have stated because a book is

actually a part of our life and reading can develop our wholesome characteristics as a
person and that is what I think he meant when he said ‘manage to become a human’. As
the author stated, “you may be protected by the laws governing manslaughter, and you
may be a voting entity, but you are neither a developed human being nor a useful citizen
of a democracy.” What it wanted to tell us is that when we have read it, we get to
understand other people, and the world’s different perspective on things , on how it works
and on how we’re going to respond with it. This might help us become a useful citizen
that lives productively.
