Life Is Like a Video Game: by Daniel Taylor

Life is a lot like an action videogame
First of all, the player must create a profile
To me this part is like a baby being born
Then the player must read and learn the back story of the game
This is like a child learning, from infant to teenager, all the basics needs in life like communication and learning to do things for himself
Then if the player thinks he's ready for the real thing he will be given some basic weapons and will be able to adventure out into the world but he must remember that he has a goal to achieve
This is like a teenager being sent off to college, his parents give him some basic knowledge and he has to survive on his own. He can
go wherever and do whatever he chooses but he must remember that his parents are expecting him to graduate
Soon the player will realize that it's not as easy as it looked when other people were playing the game. So he must use his use his weapons more tactfully and wisely
This is when the teenager gets to college and realizes that he can't do it like his older brother or sister who attended college before him; he must do things differently like study longer and harder
Soon the player will face mini bosses and main bosses
To me the mini bosses are quizzes and tests', and the main bosses are finals at the end of the semester
The player may die a few times but if he wants to beat the game he must learned what killed him the first time and be ready the next go round
Although nobody can come from death, people can feel like they have been knocked down in life. So this is like when the teenager falls into a slump or fails a course, he must be ready to take the exact same class and be prepared to progress where he failed on the first attempt
As the player progresses he will find that his basic weapons can be upgraded so he can get pass stronger enemies
This is where the teenager finds that the last class he took will help him with the class he has to take in the future
As the player nears the end of the game he will be able to use all of his skills and weapons to defeat the final boss. And when it's all over he will be ready for the sequel.
This is when the teenager who is now grown, graduates college and gets ready for graduate school, or wants to further his education.
