Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman
Feynman was a student of physics. He passed undergraduate in Mit and enrolled in Princeton College for further study. He was quite unfamiliar in system of Princeton College. As he arrived in Princeton, there was a tea party. As Mrs. Eisenhart asked him if he liked cream or lemon in this tea. He answered that he would take both. She laughed and said "surely you're joking Mr. Feynman." She said so because he had done social error. Likewise, He was quite surprise seeing students' academic gown because they were gowns without washing for three years. Similarly, he had very interest to see cyclotron in Princeton. It was kept in the underground. As he went to see it, the room where it was kept was disorder . In fact, in Princeton, cyclotron was made by college students themselves. The Princeton was multiple college. He also liked to stay and talked with biology students. He also took many class of biology. He also did a research on a phase and discovered the double mutation process. His that discovery made him popular among the biology students. Later, he was invited to Harvard University to give a lecture for biology.

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERS
Q.1.How do you feel about the strange title of Feynman's essay? Do you think it captures the point Feynman is trying to make about life and education?
ANSWER: Truly, Feynman has kept title from his own personal experience of studying in Princeton University. It is quite strange in the sense that he has kept his own name in the title. His essay tells us that the title line has been spoken by Mrs. Eisenhart as Feynman made social errors. In his first entrance to University, there was the tea party for new students and Mrs. Eisenhart had asked him what he would like cream or lemon in his tea but he replied that he liked both. Then the title of the essay for the first time is told by Mrs. Esenhart for his odd interest.In my opinion, it captures the point Feynman is trying to make about life and education. Initially he had gone to Princeton to study graduation and had already completed his underground level from Mit University. He was not familiar with Princeton's culture, custom and traditions and also was not more intelligent and he made many social errors but later on as his mind developed through his academic career, then his personal vision and thought also changed. His deep study in biology, physics as well as his taken many philosophical seminar really made him more intelligent, genius and genuine. He did not only see brick having electron but also saw it as the potentiality having essential object. He made biology research in the university and was also called to give a lecture in Harvard University.
In this way, his deep study of physics and keen interest in biology and philosophy made him inquisitive, creative and inventive mind which he got from his education. They really helped him to change his life and made him famous among his college and even in this time as well.
Q.2. Write the message of reading a text to "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman"
ANSWER : The essay tells us that there is not any bar for genius and genuine person to get success in any fields but he/she should have the keen interest in the thing and should also pay great labor to be success in chosen field, then they will certainly get their intended things. For example in the text, though the writer Feynman was a physics student, however he did great contribution in biology. He did a research on a phase and discovered the double mutation process. His that discovery made him quite popular among the biology students. Not only this much, Harvard University also invited him to give a lecture for biology students.********************************************************************
