1. An individual passes on their wisdom to others about life and getting ahead in life. They pass about being a parent and to deal with problems

#1 in my experience, the first stage of life is when your a baby,which i call "babyhood" at this stage you need to be cared for and fed and changed so a parent is most crucial at this point in time. the next would be childhood where you have no cares and all you do is play and have fun. the next stage would be the teenage stage. at this part of your life you are going through changes and becoming more mature. after that would be adulthood after the age of 21. where you are free to do whatever you want by means of marrige or moving or whatever you want. Next would be middle aged where you start to regret how old you are and you look back on the good times and not focusing on what you are doing now. Next is senior citizen where you plan on retiring in Florida or somewhere warm because you don't like the cold. Again you have no cares besides remembering to take your pills and grandchildren's birthday's. Then comes the last stage which i call death. you are back to the beginning where you need somebody to take care of you.

1. In my limited experience in the so-called "stages of life," i think that individuals pass through many stages. The first stage in life is being conceived. This is the true beginning of one's life on earth. The second stage is a combination of birth and toddler. This stage ends when one is about four to five years old. The next stage is being a child. This consists of Pre-K all the way through 6th grade. Next comes adolescences, when one is seen as a teen. This stage of life ends at the age of 17. The last two stages are adulthood, once one is 18 and senior citizens, which starts at the age of 70.

In my life the stage I'm in is becoming an adult. People our age have passed through childhood and now have the responsibilties of being a mature person. We are responisble for our actions, maybe not legally, but in everyday life.

1. Infant
2. whiningg school boy
3. Lover
4. Soldier
5. Justice
6. elderly
7. Death

I don't agree with Shakespeare because I think everyones life is different and people have the potential to do anything they want. Also, I think the only ones guaranteed were infantry and death because no one can predict the future.

shakespeare said
1.the infant mewling and puking in the nurses arms.
2.whining school boy with his satchel and shining morning face creeping like a snail unwilling to go to school.
3.a lover sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad. Made to his mistress' eyebrow.
4.soldier full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard. Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel seeking the bubble reputation.
5.justice in fair round belly with good capon lin'd with eyes sever and beard of formal cut. full of wise saws and modern instances; nd so he plays his part
6.the sixth age shifts into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon
7.turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound.
