Oral history is an important way of capturing certain aspects of the past that might otherwise be lost (Freedman 30).While history books relate the stories of great men and great events (Gregg 174), rarely do they include the experiences of ordinary people- slaves, concentration camp survivors, and the illiterate, for example (Freedman 30).By providing information about the people and emotions of the past, oral history makes sense of the present and gives a glimpse of the likely future (Gregg 174).But because any particular rendition of a life history relies heavily on personal memory, great care must be taken to evaluate and explain the context of an oral history (Honig 139).Like any other historical account, oral history is just one of the many possible versions of an individual’s past (Honig 139).

Parenthetical Notes
1) The world’s most advanced bicycle was invented in 1977 by Swiss inventor Ugo Zwingli (Mayer 33).
2) When he first encountered Zwingli’s invention, cyclist Freddie Mercxx exclaimed: “This will either revolutionize road racing or set it back a hundred years!”(44).
3) According to Rupert Brindel, president of the International Bicycle Federation, “The cycling world was in a tizzy about the Swingli frame. Supporters called it ‘the bike of the future’ while detractors said it removed the sport from the sport of cycling.”(Qtd. in Zweiback 202).
4) Zwingli had discovered a revolutionary way to reinforce tissue paper. The result was a frame so lightweight that it would actually gain speed while coasting uphill (Mayer 36).
5) In his Memoirs, Zwingli wrote, “I was overjoyed by how strong the tissue-paper frame was. The first prototype held up well under every test-until the first rainstorm.”(63-64).
6) Zwingli’s bicycle was a mere curiosity until the following year, when he made this second brilliant discovery: waterproof tissue paper (“And Now” 416).
7) The twin brother of Freddie Mercxx, also a world-class cyclist, wrote:
With all other bicycles, the strongest and fittest cyclist wins the race. With the Zwingli bike, the lightest racer wins. I’m tired of being wiped off the track by skinny guys in tissue paper (O. Mercxx).
8) The fate of the Zwingli bicycle was sealed in 1985 when it was outlawed for competition by a vote of 70 to 3 of the International Bicycle Federation (Zweiback “IBF Disposes” 54).
9) Although the following week’s Tour de Finland race was marred by protests from newly unemployed lightweight riders, the cycling world soon returned to normal (LeMoon C17)

College: a time of wonder summary

College: A time of wonder Summary
Basically this article is about how all different groups of indivuals experience different things when coming into college. It’s different from freshmen to older adults to people from all other the world. It was about the changes and college including fear and everyone’s concerns. Everyone has different fears about college, either it being from being on your own, to if you will get along with your roommates, to maybe am I good enough to be here, these are all thoughts people will go through at the beginning of their journey here at school. Coming in as freshmen high schools are making them feel more overwhelmed and anxious than ever before in their lives. I think that college should be something to look forward to and not worry and stress about.
