At seventy‚ people are considered septuagenarians. Yet‚ their age does not always classify them as a septuagenarian. In my opinion‚ it is the mentality that takes its toll on a person‚ not the persons’ age or physical attributes. Many look back on their past deeds (good & bad)‚ and reflect on them. When looking back most ask two questions‚ “What kind of person was I then‚ compared to now?” and “What have I learned these past years?” The two questions I ask now can only be theorized as to what my

not merely name a topic. The thesis asserts something about the topic. A good way to form a thesis is to (1) focus the topic and (2) make the thesis answer to a WHY question (or sometimes a WHAT‚ or a HOW question depending on the essay).

The story revolves around two women with a substantial age difference and the personal pain they suffer

The whole Disney idea was not sitting well with the French people. For example‚ during a trip to France in 1989 Michael Eisner was hit with eggs by a French columnist.
