help with homework?

I’m just read a short story, A Celebration of Grandfathers, by Rudolfo A. Anaya, and I need help with two question that follows the story. The story is about the author sharing the lessons about life that he learned from his beloved grandmother.

1. What does it mean when the author says that old people’s eyes “peer into distant past that makes absudity of our contemporary world”?

2. In what why does the presences of the old people make “time stand still”? (and it is not becuase they are slow)

THANKS!!

I’m thinking that for 1. it means that life was so simple then… and now our lives are just so busy that we forget that life was meant for living and to enjoy what is around us in all its simplicity… That’s what I think…

For 2., LOL, thanks for making me laugh with your ad lib.

I think for 2. they have many stories to tell about their childhood and life back then, too many to tell… yet despite their simple life, sometimes the stories that they have to tell have far more substance and keep you entertained far better than the movies of nowadays…

I’ve had the pleasure of listening to stories of the aged, and I myself am amazed at how I can listen to so many stories and not realize that hours have passed just listening to them! You just get lost in their world… and so that is what is meant by “time stands still”… it’s like their captivating stories stop your world…

Homework is a pain in the ***, but it’s worth it and the consequences of not doing it are low grades, low self esteem, hating school, angry parents, and awkwardness around teachers. The best thing to do is just DO the homework. Don’t try to think, “I shouldn’t…” or doubt yourself – just do it! You have to be smart about it, do the homework that is most important first, leave the little things for last, take frequent breaks, no eating while working as it’s distracting, NO TV until you are COMPLETELY done.
