Dr.Heideggers+Experiment

1. To learn a lesson 2. They all want their youth so they drink this youth water and, they believe they are youthful and regained everything they lost years ago, making them act wild, laugh and dance. 3.Heddiger wouldn't drink the water because he didn't want to loose all his knowledge and make him forget everything, his friends just wanted to be young again. 4. The narrater is omniscient, he knows what happens because, another scientist was in the room hiding somewhere.The narrater is sure about the things he saw. 5. I agree that people seem to always want their youth back and they are trying all different things to be young again, so I think that they would take this "youth drink" and even risk there intelligence or anything to become youthful. 7. In my opinion I would love to live till 800 but I wouldn't want to suffer through any of the plagues or droughts or anything horrible, and it depends if you get to keep your youth so Im in the middle.

Describe the relationships between the class theme and the story. "... and there was the rose of half a century, looking as fresh as when Sylvia Ward had first given it to her lover." The rose is being described as new and vibrant.

Metaphor:  "... the skeleton had rattled in its closet, the picture of the young lad had stepped one foot upon the floor."  This is describing that something mysterious is happening here.

Personification: "...together with a sudden glow of cheerful sunshine..." Sunshine cannot be cheerful because it has no emotions.

Symbol: The rose can be a symbol for love and youth because the doctor uses it to think of his youthful days and it was given to him by someone he loved. Also in reality roses are a symbol of love.

Foreshadowing (give both elements):

The title Dr. Heidegger's Experiment is forshadowing, because it gives a hint to the reader that he is going to do an experiment.

When Heidegger tells them to drink, he also tells them to pass knowledge learned from being old to the youth when these four are going to be the youth.

Imagery: It was apparently impregnated with an effervescent gas, for little bubbles were continually ascending from the depths of the glasses, and bursting in silvery spray at the surface. As the liqur diffused a pleasant perfume, the old people doubted not that is possessed its rejuvenscent power, they were inclined to swallow it at once.

Describe the relationships between the class theme and the story. The relationship between the class theme and the story is that they both involve mystery, because an experiment is a mystery since you dont known what could happen when you try out the formula. Just like it was a mystery to the people who drank the water. They had no clue of the side effects that could happen ( like turning old again), it was all a mystery to them.
