In Liz Addison's "Two Years Are Better Than Four", Addison begins by mocking a man named Rick Perlstein. Perlstein wrote an article about how college isn't the same anymore and it doesn't matter. Addison strongly disagrees with his claim that "the college experience. a rite of passage as it was meant to be, must have come to an end" (212). She feels that Perlstein has never set into an American community college and that he is "stuck in his own nostalgia, looking for himself" (212). Addison feels as if this is an insult because community college means to her a lot because it was a place where she found herself and experienced new things.
Response:
In Liz Addison's "Two Years Are Better Than Four", she says, "I is here that Mr. Perlstein will find his college years of self-discovery, and it is here he will find that college does still matter." Addison feels that Perlstein has a different perspective on college because he spent his at the "University of Privilege" in the sixties. I agree with Addison because going to a four-year and a community college can be a very different experience. College isn't for everybody, but to me it does still matter because it is a place where you can explore your won interests and find yourself through a future path.
