(1) a number of factors influence the pace at which people age. (2)first of all, genes—traits inherited from parents—play a major role in how people age. (3)genes play a role in how much hair loss we have or how much weight we gain. (4)genes also explain why some people at 75 years old look 60, while others who are 60 appear to be 75. (5)a second factor that influences aging is a persons lifestyle. (6)older-looking skin and wrinkles can be caused by too much sun exposure in youth—part of an outdoor, active lifestyle. (7)on the other hand, a person who does not exercise is more likely to look and feel older than one who is physically active. (8)social forces are a third factor that influence aging. (9)older people who feel isolated or lonely often age faster than those who don't report having those feelings. (10)but older people who are involved with others—their families, religious groups, or peer groups—age more slowly and live longer than those who don't.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover". 

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.

have a great day!
