DR. HEIDEGGER'S EXPERIMENT

This story is about Dr. Heidegger’s experiment on testing how these four kinds of people would do to try to conquer or fight over the fear of going old. These four people were old friends of Dr. Heidegger and they all had something that they desire. In addition, because of these desires, it causes them to not be able to stop their greediness and need for the water of the Fountain of Youth. Also, it caused them to not learn their lesson in the very end of the story also.


      I think that this was an interesting story. I think that it’s interesting because this story is inspired by the real-life expeditions of a Spanish explorer, Ponce de León. Personally, this story teaches me to not be greedy and to not fall into the imaginary world of illusions. On the other hand, I think that if I was one of the four guests, I would also keep drinking the water from the Fountain of Youth for my look too. In the story, the four guests were all like compelled to the idea that they had to be young again. In the end, I think that this story reveals the weakness of how humans what to live eternally.
