Is College Important 


            “College is a place where you come to learn such things. But as higher education expands its reach, it’s increasingly hard to say what college is like and what college is for.” 

This is interesting because some people think you don't need college so ill like to hear this other pov.




“Many will be entering community colleges hoping to gain a useful qualification or to prepare themselves for a transfer to a four-year college.” 

This surprised me because the author is talking like you can't gain useful qualifications from a community college.



“As college grows more expensive, plenty of people want to know whether they’re getting a good return on their investment.”

This is very true because I think like that sometimes.

Words are so powerful, there's a quote that everybody might know and it's “actions speak louder than words”. But if you really think about it, words are the reasons behind a...

David Blaine TED Talk, Air Under The Water

7/2/2025 David Blaine TED Talk, Air Under The Water      David Blaine's TED talk is a literacy narrative, first lets answer the question, what is a literacy narrative? A literacy narrative is kinda like an essay that emphasizes on someone's experiences with different forms of literacy and how those experiences effect/impact their life. Going back to David Blaine in his TED talk he was talking about the life changing time when he was tried to go as long as he could with out breathing under water and one of the things that stuck out to me during his TED talk was when he was talking about all the ways he tried to make the illusion that he was holding his breath under water. Until he just decided to do it. He said that he "started researching pearl divers", pearl divers go into depths of water and can hold their breath for up to 4 minutes. He did research on them to learn how they hold their breaths for so long so that he can perform the stunt that he was literally dying ...
