Mirror

This week we read the poem "Mirror," which focused on self reflection and self discovery. Through the author's use of personification and imagery, we can see that how one view of them self changes and it takes self discovery to accept those changes. The occasion of this poem is growing of age and it is told from the perspective of the women, through the faithful mirror. I think this poem is very relatable because as we age as high school seniors we begin to discover ourselves and realize who we have become. A mirror does not lie, it tells the truth even if we don't want to see it. Similarly, high school also tells the truth. It reveals flaws and hard times, yet with each of these lies or flaws a person grows stronger. Indeed, with time we become more confident and content with our life and the poem, "Mirror," makes one ponder these inevitable thoughts.
