A summary of poem Mirror
Mirror is the poem by Sylvia Plath and in this poem she brings out the fear of getting old and settling down for things in life. Beauty is something which fades away as we get old when we are young energetic and enthusiastic our external beauty never fades and it remains as long as we get old.
One must understand the facts that external appearance does not matter it is the thing of just flesh but beauty which can be gained by our character lasts forever rather than physical appearance.
Yes inner beauty exists it represents goodwill and kindness and the bond with this lasts forever. Inner beauty brings out all the good qualities of a person and this will help to reduce the violence in the world.
The father had the son physically, but that did not mean he was his actual father if he did not care for him as his son
Example: a father had a son and abandoned him. The son was then adopted by his caring (real) father
The lines which are a flashback here are: She thought of her last day in middle school, seven years ago, when Sarah had given her an iPod. She had felt ecstatic that day when she realized she would be able to listen to her favorite songs and fend off comments from her cousins about how little she knew about music.
<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of
consciousness technique.
This excerpt is an
example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an
experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though
process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the
thoughts of Septimus).
<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense
anxiety and fear.
From a description of
the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier,
Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a
sense of his intense anxiety and fear.
<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things
fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
The description of
the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming”
by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot
hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from
bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not
being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the
pavement, for a purpose?”
