(1) The stages of life, from birth to death, may seem controlled by biology. (2) However, the way we think about life’s stages is shaped by society. (3) During the Middle Ages, for example, children dressed—and were expected to act—just like little adults. (4) Adolescence became a distinct stage of life only fairly recently, when a separate teenage subculture began to appear. (5) But in the Middle Ages, young people were “children” until about age 16. (6) Then they went to work, married, and had their own children. (7) Today, “young adulthood” has become a new stage of life, stretching from about age 20 to 30. (8) As life expectancy becomes longer and people spend years in active retirement, older adulthood has also become a distinct life stage.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances. there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.
