Certainly!I remember taking 48 English class in college on the short story. Our first assignment was to read 49 short stories and then discuss which one was better. After reading both, I wasn’t sure. Over the 50 several months, my professor taught me 51 one story was so much better than the other. 52 was rich in metaphor (隱喻) and character development, while the other was humorous 53 too shallow. I couldn’t see this at first. Yet, in a few months, my brain got reeducated and 54 could see the difference between good and bad writing and could appreciate literature at a whole new level.Going to college helps build a strong mind, which leads 55 greater success in one’s life.7
