The Seven Ages of Man Quickwrite

I personally thought life has no stage. Life, is not to be scripted. Life by itself is, almost, a living, and breathing soul with its own sorts of mind. However, the point of this assignment is for us to second-guess Shakespeare's 7 stages of life predicament, and so that is what I will have to do. I predict the first stage to be of the babyhood. The stage when a child cries and have no sort of pride of any kind. The stage when a child's mother is their world and their only. The second stage, I predict, is childhood. The time when a child learned to stand on his or her feet and make friends. The third stage, I predict, is adolescence. This is the stage when the body and mind of a child develops into one of an adult. Many fell in love at this stage. This is also a time of great imprudence as the hormones within each teenager rules his or her action. The forth stage should be early adulthood when people stepped into society as a fresh, new human being in charge of his or her own life. Some fell in love in this stage, in college, and get married and start a family with a huge dream and a life ahead of them. The fifth stage is middle-aged man stage. This is when family and work became the center of each man's life. This is the life when the parents themselves have to take care of new characters that come into their plays as fresh human beings. The sixth stage is when a man or woman reaches his or her 60s. This is a stage of great peace as he or her rest from years of weary and fatigue. This is also the time when most gets to take a rest and do the things they weren't able to do in their previous stages of life. The seventh stage, lastly, is also the last and men reaches this stage in different years. Some for the rest of their life, and some for a very brief moment. This stage is when men finally loose all senses and almost all possessions save their breath and becomes as needy as an infant. Only this time, instead of learning to stand up, they are learning to lie down.
This, is the play of men I believe Shakespeare had in mind.
