The Seven Ages of Man
William Shakespeare
All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and pulding in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier.
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel
Seelding the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Iste the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on mase and pouch on side:
His youthful hose, well saved. a world too wide
For his shrunk shank and his big manly volce
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all
That ends this strange eventful history,
is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything
I The lean and sufrad on

What effect is created by the plaque posted on the gate at the entrance to the family's home in nadine gordimer's "once upon a time"? the words written on the plaque offer readers a foreshadowing of the story's outcome without revealing the actual conclusion, the author's use of flashback allows readers to understand what is at the heart of the issues of encroachment in the suburban neighborhood the repetition of the words written on the plaque presents an oxymoron because readers already sense that the plaque has been ineffective in warding off intruders. the author introduces a paradox in which readers are presented with a warning notice when no actual infraction has taken place.

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
