Dr.Heidegger's+Experiment

13/20 1. To make himself learn a lesson 2. They all want to regain their youth. The all behave like they have vanquished all signs of old age and had regained everything they lose years ago; making them act wild. 3. Dr. Heidegger wouldnt drink the water because he didnt want to loose all of the knowlege accumulated over the years. His friends dont feel the same way because they just want to have their youth back. 4. The narrator is an omniscient being. He knows what happens because i think he is Dr. Heidegger's grandson hiding in a closet. The narrator is definate and confident in his facts. 5. Some points that are made, are that youth is to be enjoyed but only once so that it can be treasured while it lasts. I don't agree with the views of the story because i think that when you have the chance to grasp youth again you should take it in while you still can. 7. I dont feel this desirable because I don't want to be 800 years old if i look it or feel 800, and i wouldn't want to live in an over populated world.
