As time has passed, the once fresh, strong, and fleshy white eggplant, is now a squishy sponge. The small dents have now turned into deep crevasses as a worm would make in a tree. This reminds me of my grandpa. A man who has always been strong and youthful has started to show some dents of his own. This is still the same vegetable as my grandpa is still the same man, yet they have a different appeal as time passes.

You truly analyzed this egg plant and have compassion for it. You comparing it to things like a unicorn and you grandpa are interesting. I hope that your eggplant lives a long life.

Jack, your eggplant allows us a window into your love and respect for your grandfather. I like this line, particularly: “A man who has always been strong and youthful has started to show some dents of his own. This is still the same vegetable as my grandpa is still the same man, yet they have a different appeal as time passes.”
