Aging By Michelle Disser

"Aging" by Michelle Disser explains how age can define us, and can quickly come upon

us whether we like it or not. Disser says that "age is like a panther stalking

[us]". It is with us every second of every day, and is always happening. It's like

when kids say they can't wait to grow up. At "first [they] consider [themselves]

lucky to see the large cat", and they are excited to be growing up and becoming an

adult. But then "it starts coming to quickly" and they resent the fact that they

wanted to grow up so fast. They are now staring into the mirror at something they

weren't ready for. They "wish it to stop, to retreat", but there is nothing they can

do about it, because it's the cirlce of life. They have birthdays, They get older

and when "it pounces" we have no choice but to let it be.

If i have to make a life or death decision, i would take the initiative and save Ada Artlover. Now i know that you are probably thinking "why?". I'll tell you why. I would save her, because she is a living part of this planet. She is something that breathes and moves. The Mona Lisa is just a painting that could easily be redone. I know that it is a part of history and everything, but it just doesn't cut it. The Mona Lisa is nothing special, it never made a special impact on the world and never made a difference in anyone's lives. Lets change the story. You are now Ada Artlover, and someone has to either pick you, or the painting. Obviously you would want that person to choose to save you from the burning fire, wouldn't you? I know you would want that. Every single person would want to be saved. They would want to be saved so they can have the chance to see their families, and their loved ones. That's something that Ada Artlover wants. The creation of a painting takes a mere amount of time, and is basically priceless, but the creation of a human life, is more than anyone person can afford. Long live Ada.
