The poem "Mirror" was written by Sylvia Plath in 1961. This poem is a sincere demonstration of the writer's feelings, fears, pains, feelings of hopelessness and personal state of mind, which is why she is labeled as a confessional poet. She was considered a feminist writer, and she also dealt with motherhood, marriage, suicidal instincts. In addition to her personal aspects, critics claim that her poetry rises to the general human condition. The very name of the poem and one of the central ideas is that the mirror reflects what is true. It helps to explore one's true self in opposition to illusion and appearance. It deals with the research of what is below the reflecting and visible surface. Silver and exact refers to this aspect of the poem.

Another central idea of ​​the poem deals with the relationship between the patriarchal environment and the tyranny of beauty, with the feminist aspect and the criticism of this phenomenon. The idea of ​​a crisis of identity of a woman and her concern in such an environment is developing. It shows the fear of passing time and aging. She checks her beauty every day, and it represents her suffering. Observing herself in the mirror every day, she sees herself leaving, so that the peak of this agony will make her fear of aging an "terrible fish," which is her pronounced anxiety. The loss of her beauty does not mean only aging and her death, but also a social death under the influence of the patriarchal environment, which often sees the value of the woman in her beauty. This points to her feminist criticism against social pressure, and a strict male attitude toward female beauty, because by such a value system, women lose their importance and value when they get old and when they stop being beautiful. Simply, such a system represents the shallow truth of dictated physical appearance.

The answer is: young and beautiful

1. Which of these activities is the best example of cunning?
prohojiy [21]

I think this is right but I'm not sure but I'll try my best

1) D because cunning refers to skill in deceit and trickery, and telling a convincing lie is the only option that involves both skill and deceit.

2) D because to speak to somebody in confidence means that you want to be confident that the information shared is between the group you share confidence with. Nurse wishes to speak to Romeo in confidence that he will not tell anybody because it is a secret and she wishes only for Romeo to know.

3) B because to counter something means to go against that thing. An example is a counter-argument, or an argument against another argument.

4) B because that is the act <em>against</em> someone. All the other options demonstrate a command, but not a <em>countermand, </em>if you get my gist.

5) A (i think) because the decision to get married was an unwise and hasty decision made of young lust, and ulimately caused the great tragedy. If Romeo and Juliet had taken things slower, things might've been possible renegotiated or at least thought over.

6) B because Friar Lawrence is really Romeo's 'father figure' because his father is so often absent in his life. He acts as a mentor and tries to help Romeo get married to his love.

Reread lines 1-7. Compare the effect of the author’s word choice in the description of the bubbles and then in the description o
Anton [14]

Answer:

From the opening sentence, we understand that there are thirteen bubbles that floated in the milk.

The author described the bubbles as "transparent hemispheres gleamed like souvenirs of the summer days just past, rich with blue reflections of the sky and of shadowy greens".

The effect of the author's choice of words was that of imagery as it helped the readers to "see" the bubbles in their mind's eye with such clarity as it was so succinctly described.

The author further described John's actions as he used the spoon to scoop the milk and swallow it in such a way that suggested he was either very hungry or in a hurry.

"John Hawkins jabbed the bubble closest to him with his spoon,. . .there was no mark of where it had been"

This description had the effect of making the readers know how eager John was to consume the milk and how quickly the ripples vanished.

The readers can also infer that John consumed the milk in an aggressive manner because of the way he jabbed at the ripple closest to him in his effort to drink the milk.
