The purpose of his experiment was to see if the water from the fountain of youth would return people to there youth and how they would relive their lives from their.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> #2.They all have in common the fact that they are old and have made many mistakes in their lives. They did not behave at their best during the experiment they were however very rowdy.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> #3. Dr. Heidegger would not drink from the fountain of youth because he found that it would not change the way he would live his life and he would make the same mistakes. His friends on the other hand would love to go to the fountain and drink from it all Day long.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> #4. The narrator in this story is a person who is all knowing of the events but is never named and we never figure out how this person is so knowing of the events but still this person is certain of everything they say.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> #5. Points made about youth and aging in this story are how youth is very happy unstructured rowdy but beautiful. While aging turns these traits around and makes the opposites. I agree with these points.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> #7. I do not have this desire of long age I feel like cheating death is not a thing you should do I feel you should live life and die when you die
