1.What does Ensler suggest by her descriptions and explanation of “the elusive nature of security”?That it is impossible, because nothing is secure in our lives. Stuff happens to us like getting old,dying, changing, etc. People leave us change us or influence us, etc. It actually is good news unless you want your life to be secure, stagnant or unchanging. The changes throughout life canbe good news or positive. 2.What does she mean by the termhard matter identity?Meaning you have to know who you are. Some examples of being identified, like a chrsitian, jew,homosexual, etc. You will cling to things that make you secure so you don’t have any doubt or change. 3.What is the “new paradigm” she discusses? (A paradigmis a system, organization, or pattern of behavior, beliefs, or practices.)

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
