Coop D. Cougar is a beige cat with muscular build and green eyes. He’s very athletic, competitive, charismatic, and friendly. When Coop runs onto the field he wears a team uniform, but his jersey with the number 66 representing route 66 which pass through the team town Albuquerque. Coop’s an appropriate representation of the team and city because not only does he stand for the cougar's population in the Sandia and Manzano mountains he also is the symbol for some of the city’s history. With his unique personality he appeals to not only the children but the younger adult market. During halftime Coop will play catch with 3 lucky children for a few minutes then will shoot little stuffed animals and t-shirts into the crowd. Also on special days

Even though it was Mortimer who made the first move, “Suddenly he found himself trying to help her and in a clumsy way trying to kiss her...” (pg8), Elsie was blamed for the incident and made out to be the villain. Mortimer said “I didn’t know what I was doing (despite the fact that he is more than double her age). She kept asking me. It was her who kept asking me” (pg 9). Elsie’s youth was only mentioned because of the beauty it gave her, “During the summer the face of the girl had reddened with sun and air and as autumn came on it seemed to broaden and flatten, the thick skin ripe and healthy in texture”, (pg8) and not because it may impair her ability to think rationally as opposed to a man over 18 years her senior. These narrow-minded views could very possibly come from the average man in the 1950’s.

they do in real life. For example, a majority of the female characters on television are in their 20s

The contrasts between young and old are very definitive. The contrast between the two shows itself very prominently in To Build a Fire. Even though the old man at Sulfur Creek tells the man not to go out alone, the man abandons the advice and ventures out alone with his dog into the Yukon. The old man was right, the younger man should have listened instead of being arrogant. He should have gone with someone and kept himself safe. Even though it may not seem like it, the entire story revolves around the man’s decision to travel alone into the Yukon and simply discard the old man’s advice.

This means that I was faster at sorting images of younger faces and good words. Like mentioned before, most Americans usually prefer the faces of young people rather than old. One reason that it could have been easier for me to sort young people and good words is because I am currently a young adult. Additionally, the world that we currently live in today stresses that is it much more desirable to be young instead of old. We tend to associate being young with positive aspects such as great physical performance, good health, and no wrinkles.

Does the maxim, “never trust anyone over 30” ring a bell? In American culture at least, a chasm between the generations has always existed to one degree or another. What is frustrating is the apparent disconnect that adults have in light of this paradigm – a cultural anomaly that has been in existence for hundreds

With age difference, it usually means that

Many teenage men view older people as being cumbersome and dumb. It seems as if with old age people have lost all their wisdom and are no longer up to the task of communicating any sort of suggestion to their teenage counterparts. In one instance when Sammy says he quits, his older manager tries to reason with him. Manager Langel even attempts to make Sammy feel some remorse about quitting his job for his own parent’s sake, but once he made up his mind Sammy would not back down because he felt no remorse. “Now here comes the sad part of the story, at least my family says it’s sad but I don’t think it’s sad…”

In the world of dating many people ask, does age matter? The answer is yes and no; as many different components come into play. In the movie “Somethings Gotta Give”, Harry dates a younger woman and when he meets her mom she doesn’t seem to mind that her boyfriend is much older than her. An older male and younger woman is accepted in society, whereas an older woman dating a younger man becomes labeled as a “cougar”. A man who dates a younger woman receives no such title, this is socially constructed by the white male dominant group, as to say it is ok for a man to do it, but when a woman does it, she’s a “cougar”. A man dating a young woman has been around for centuries and coming from a dominant group the

Mature Women: They say that a mature woman is ten times better than a younger one as they have far more experience. Dean's had a crush on a mature woman now for over two years, and he's about to discover the absolute truth to that statement.

I found similar results to those of the website. The two questions that gave significant results following the ageism trend was #9 and #11: "Growing old is a natural part of life" and "The thought of becoming old or older distresses me" Both of these questions consisitently were answered "strongly agree". Finding above a ninety percentile agreement supports my old views and adds to the ageism that still existing today. The fact is that is was normal for my grandparents to be doing what they were doing. Being old does not extinquish the passion for having sex. However, it is act of thinking about old people having sex that does.

It’s inconsistent when Suzy says there’s a gap in their ages of over 10 years. He’s 23 and thinks she’s

I can recall from the time I started elementary school until I graduated high school, age-grading occurred. All of the individuals I went to school with were in the same age range. It wasn’t until I began working and then going to college where I would mingle with people of different age ranges than myself. I think that age-grading has a purpose, however, exposure to interacting with a wide range of age groups is key, especially when transitioning into adulthood. Age-grading also plays a role in the formation of cliques and crowds.

Years factor in various parts of these stories. For example, years factor in the personality of a character. In “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” Prufrock is a older gentleman who has lived a long, regretful, and boring life. Years plays a part is this because of his age that defies his personality. “A Sunrise on the Veld” the main character is a younger boy who starts off naive about life. He hasn’t had much experience and lacks knowledge of the real world considering he wasn’t been on it long enough. The story “A Dill Pickle” Vera is shown to have changed in character six years after her split with the man. She is the opposite from who she once was and is now independent and worldly.
