THE PANIC OF GROWING OLDER
The gigantic hopes that one have at age twenty are
uncertain and at the age thirty brings emotional pains due
to failures. Even the proof that one will live longer enough
to achieve the expectations waiting to be achieved is not
certain. As one grows through adulthood, various
challenges confront one’s endeavors, affecting both the
personal expectations and the public expectations,i.e,
those things the world and the people around expect a
person to achieve as a growing adult. “From now on the
world has you” shows that every adult is a captive or a
slave to the world; one must impress with achievements to
be regarded as a success
i)Uncertainty of human future and expectations
ii)Varying challenges of adulthood
iii)Personal and Public expectations of adulthood
iv)Captivity of being an adult.

corruption in the play. He is the ring leader of acriminal

scale embezzlement of public funds,sexual immorality and
fraud. His character is ironical.

i)The Ocean
Water water everywhere. And not a drop of it is literal. That’s right, folks, in this poem, the ocean is one whopper of a metaphor, representing that Great Gig in the Sky, death.
ii)The Night
Sunset, Twilight. Dark. Yep, that’s pretty much how it goes when you die. First, you grow a little older, a little crustier. Then you grow really old and crusty. And finally, you reach the point.
iii)The Sounds
For a poem about death, this one sure is noisy. Mostly, those noises are there to remind us of the human grief that surrounds death, but they’re also the death knell itself – a sound to remind.
iv)The Sailing
If the sea represents death, well then sailing represents that long, slow journey toward death. Setting out from the safe harbor of life and into the great unknown of death is the central metaphor.
