“Aging is a continuous process” states Michelle Disser in the poem “Aging”. The theme of this poem is that you will get older rather you like it or not. Disser also uses an extended metaphor, she does this by comparing aging to a “panther stalking you”. Some people find that aging is a part of like, and they would “consider their selves lucky”. And some people want to get older faster so they can do more stuff, just like you would “bid [the panther] to come closer”, but then you feel like your getting to old, to fast and you “wish it to stop”. But it won’t stop, and you just keep getting older while the panther is charging towards you, at you, and all the sudden out of nowhere “It pounces” aging and the panther would both have a huge impact on your life.

Dear Constable Pierre Catchacrook,
You may be asking yourself, why would I save Ada Artlover, instead of the priceless Mona Lisa painting, when the tragic fire that broke out in Louvre Museum. My decision was a hard one, but I save Ada Artlover for multiple reasons. One of my main reason is because, Mrs. Artlover has a family and grandchildren that love her, Sure my decision to choose Mrs. Artlover over the Mona Lisa have hurt people, but there are many copies of the Mona Lisa and only one copy of Ada. My second reason, is because the way she talked about her grand children and how much she loved them, and how much they meant to her. And how she talked about her own kids taking care of her, almost every moment of their life. Finally, she was a old lady, sure Mona Lisa is 509 years old, but people will remember the Mona Lisa for years. Now, put yourself in this position, where it is your grandmother in this burning building, wouldn't you want someone to save her instead a priceless piece of art?
Sincerely,
Jenn Ward
