Human life is a journey that can be compared to a day from dusk to dawn. Elaborate with reference to ‘The Seven Ages’ by William Shakespeare.
Sanidhya Khandelwal, Class IX C
A human being’s journey of life is like a day. When he is an infant, he is very gentle and sweet – just like dawn. Slowly, when he goes to school, he is lazy just like morning. Then he is a lover filled with illogical thoughts. Then he plays the role of a soldier, very angry, just like the scorching sun of the noon. Slowly, the age shifts, just like the temperature of the sun. Now he is full of advices and good thoughts. Then he becomes a slippered pantaloons, just like the setting sun. At last, comes a halt to his life and he has nothing, like the darkness of the dusk.
Shubhi Mittal, Class IX C
Dawn is young and energetic, beautiful and peaceful, just like a newborn child. His life is calm and not chaotic. He brings with him hope and love, just like every sunrise. As the day commences, every living soul loves the mild sunlight, just as everyone loves a child. Noon is the time the sun shines bright and brims with all the emotions as if trying its best to please every soul touched by its rays. Similar is the state of a human when in love.
The wings of time fly and now the sun is no more bright, yet, strong enough to make its presence felt. Humans in this phase, no more seek love but respect. Then comes evening which shows the sun is about to set and its rays are very mild. One, in this phase, is old and needs support. As it is the time for the sun to set, so is there a time for one to leave this world. Yet, both leave with the promise to return, be it in the same form or another and travel their journeys of life all over again.
