The entire quatrain where that phrase is found talks about time itself. It says that time gives beauty, thus making that particular person handsome, but time also takes away that same beauty - unfair which fairly doth excel. What was once young and beautiful will become old and wither as time goes by.
So you will be allowed to cover a broader range of material and be more creative with the way you choose to present information.
If I was a hollywood movie producer and I am remaking this video for a 21st century audience, I would want to have Morgan Freeman as my speaker and set the scene at a futuristic setting. A futuristic setting would include any science fiction concepts. Having Morgan Freeman would not only make the audience get interested with a video having a familiar voice in it, but it would give depth and meaning to the entire idea itself. It would align with the on going trends of the 21st century. It would also make it entertaining. While making this, I would make sure to still hold the video contents but with more added features to make the video enticing. Also add probably more animations or simulations to show what the video actually means.
Answer and Explanation:
Dear Trevor:
<em />
<em>Hello again my dear friend, I hope you're doing well. It has been a while since we last spoke and you might be wondering why.</em>
<em>As many people know by now thanks to social media, </em><em>there was a terrible and disastrous fire in the Chipinque forest last week.</em><em> It caused important losses of old and valuable trees which have survived for over 100 years. Also, many species of wildlife were killed, while others suffered numerous injuries.</em>
<em>As much as I am grateful for not being harmed in this fire, I am deeply sad about this situation and I'm certain you will be too due to your profound appreciation for this town, which will always be your first and most-loved town. The main reason of this letter is to let you know we are all safe. However, I wanted to please ask you to be careful because, as you already know, the current high temperatures are able to cause many similar disasters and horrible losses, no matter where we are.</em>
<em>I truly hope I can visit your town soon to catch up and tell you more about this unfortunate event.</em>
Love,
Sophia
