Letter to a Young Refugee from another and Farewell to Manzanar
are both stories about struggles of families inside a refugee camp for the
former and internment camp for the latter. In the “Letter to a Young refugee”
which took place in Guam after the Vietnam war, Lam addresses another refugee
he saw in the news to relate his previous experience. The theme is more like, “I
know what you are going through.”
In “Farewell to Manzanar”, the main character went back to
the old camp in Manzanar much later in her life to reflect on what used to be her life
there as a displaced Japanese in America.
The poem Mirror by Sylvia Plath (beautifully) employs allegory, personification, and metaphors. But what can we infer from the title? The title mirror naturally brings to mind ideas of reflection. This is the purpose of a mirror: to reflect. The best answer regarding what we can infer from the title is that the poem may be about self-reflection.

Service goes a step further than volunteering one's free afternoon to dish out food at a local soup kitchen....
