Answer:

first stage was a baby Stage 1,

A helpless baby, just crying and throwing up.

Stage 2, Schoolboy:

He's grown into his late teens and his main interest is girls. He's likely to make a bit of a fool of himself with them. He is sentimental, sighing and writing poems to girls, making himself a bit ridiculous.

Stage 4, Young man:

He's a bold and fearless soldier – passionate in the causes he's prepared to fight for and quickly springs into action. He works on developing his reputation and takes risks to that end.

Stage 5, Middle aged:

He regards himself as wise and experienced and doesn't mind sharing his views and ideas with anyone and likes making speeches. He's made a name for himself and is prosperous and respected. As a result of his success he's become vain. He enjoys the finer things of life, like good food.

Stage 6, Old man:

He is old and nothing like his former self – physically or mentally. He looks and behaves like an old man, dresses like one and he has a thin piping voice now. His influence slips away.

Stage 7, Dotage and death:

He loses his mind in senility. His hair and teeth fall out and his sight goes. Then he loses everything as he sinks into the oblivion of death.
