University of Toronto
The University that i would like to go to right after i graduate high school would be University of Toronto.Why? Well first of all, I'm a Canadian, and University of Toronto is in Canada, so that's where i will want to continue my studies. Secondly University of Toronto is ranked tops in Canada and 20th in the world. I also really want to visit and live in Toronto, because when i lived in Canada, i only stayed in Vancouver. I would really like to live in Toronto. Lastly, University of Toronto is Canada's largest university, and i would really like to study my major-- Pharmacy there.

Dr. Heidegger's Experiment
Dr. Heidegger’s experiment is basically about a old man named Dr. Heidegger inviting his four elderly friends over to his study, Colonel Killigrew, Mr. Medbourne, Mr. Gascoigne, and the Widow Wycherly. The author also mentioned the four friends weakness in life. Colonel Killigrew represents alcoholism, gluttony and lust. Mr. Medbourne was a business man with crazy money making ideas. He represents greed. Mr. Gascoigne use to be a ruined politician who makes empty speech. He represents hypocrisy. Last but not least Widow Wycherly, she use to be so beautiful that all three men (Colonel Killigrew, Mr. Medbourne, Mr. Gascoigne) fought over her. She cares a lot about her looks. She represents vanity. The four friends came here to try out one of Dr. Heidegger’s experiment. Their reaction to turning young again was ugly and displayed their true colors again. The three friends become hostile, fighting over the widow and demanding more and more of the water. I feel like Dr. Heidegger wasn't exactly testing if the water from the fountain of youth works or not. He was testing how his "friends" reacted to becoming young again. After the effect of the water from the fountain of youth wore off, they were left in sadness and bitterness. I really enjoy reading this story. Each page was like luring me into the story plot. It’s my favorite story so far this year.
