Remark
Let's begin with the theme. What is the theme of this passage, exactly? Four people -- five if you include Dr. Heidegger -- are sitting around a circle bemoaning the fact that they have lost something not granted to anyone. They have lost their second youth. They have swallowed some water which gave them their youth only for a fleeting moment (it seems to them), and they mourn the passage of time that grants them no more youth that they had been living in for some short period.
The four felt that way. Only Dr. Heidegger seemed to have learned something that told him that he should be careful what he wished for: he might actually get it.
We have two themes then. We have 4 who wished for their youth back and we have one who didn't want any part of it. I think we have to cover both.
The best detail for those wanting it is the old woman who apparently got her youth back and she was incredibly beautiful. Now her hands are skinny and likely wrinkled. She puts those hands to her face and wishes herself to be dead because she despises the fact that she is old (and likely all her friends are dead and she is condemned to a life of weariness. I speculate, but is certainly unhappy about the aging process). She mourns that it is over so quickly. They all do. That's sentence 3.
Only Dr. Heidegger seems to understand that they got something they should never have received in the first place. The yellow sentence beginning with "Well I bemoan it not, ... " reflects his point view as well as anything. That's sentence 5.
By describing actions such as "seemed to look each of us in the eye"
The life of tennagers like Albert, Emily, Michael and Gunter, was one of the tipical life of a teenager where they had the chance to live a simple life and a very active one. They used to help in many house work and to respect more the decisions of their parents. They had their time to play but many of the things they did had to do with playing innocent and sometimes were accompanied with antics and naughtiness. Todays teenagers are more independent from their house chores and their parents. Remember that before world war, many of the teenagers were enroled in activities related to that war so they received better discipline that those from this epoch. The similarities can be a few, some of them could be sumarized in the fact that teenagers, even independent, were not used to go from home until they were grown ups or adults
