The theme of agism has been highlighted in the book. The other citizens do not respect senior citizens, and that is just very sad. To add on to that they feel like there is no place for them in this highly technologically advanced world.

I’m not sure why this happens, but the author is right. I think that this is because young people in the US seem to be live that their way is the only way. Maybe because the opinions of elders are seen as “old-fashioned”. This trend bothers me since I am approaching this segment of the population faster than I would like.

I believe that society's perception of senior citizens is reflected in the book. Even though there are plenty of elderly people who lift weights and run marathons, biology does have an impact, and people no longer have the empathy to care for others.
