====== elderly broadway show ======
By: Yuna Wu

October 29, a Saturday was supposed to be a day that I sleep until the afternoon, but our teacher take us to Taipei Arena Station to watch a show. This show is just watching many old people dancing. Along with the storyline, the old people danced different types of dances. 

The story begins with a girl who can see ghosts and a boy researcher who wants to use science to explain "whether life is eternal" to find out about the secret of eternal life. At the first, the girl came to a jungle, and then she meets the researcher who wants to use science to explain “whether life is eternal” to find the secret of eternal life. At first, they have conflict, but for searching the things about the secret of eternal life easier, they choose to cooperate and find out together. 

To find the secret of eternal life, they went to different places in the world. Every time they got to a place, there will have a lot of elderly people coming out dancing. They will dance the style of the country that the girl and the researcher went to, and wear the clothes of the place that they went. 

Every time that elderly people come out dancing, I always feel surprised. The elderly people dance so well, I think they dance better than me. Some of the elderly people’s legs can’t stand really well, so they need to sit in wheelchairs, but they also dance pretty cutely. Also, their wearing is cute and pretty. They also make the wheelchairs cute. They put some cute things on the cardboard and stick the cardboard on the wheelchairs. When I saw those elderly people sit on wheelchairs, and use their hands to dance, I feel they are pretty cute. Those elderly people’s dances are all pretty good, they dance really well. As they get older, their bodies are not as good as before. They may not be able to do well in some dance moves, but they still dance pretty goof. As they get older, their balance and softness also deteriorate, and some dance moves may be relatively difficult. Memory also becomes poor, and it may take a while for them to fully memorize the dance steps.

After I watch this show, I think even though people are old, people can still do the things they want. Age does not limit you, as long as you want, you can still try all kinds of possibilities. Maybe as you get older, your body gets old and becomes bad, and you can't move as well as you used to, but you can still try whatever you want within your reach. I think people don’t need to pursue immortality. It is precise because human life is limited and they should cherish it more. (我覺得其實人們並不需要去追求長生不老，正是因為人的生命有限，所以才更應該要去珍惜。)
