Answer:
The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.
Explanation:
The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.
The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."
The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.
a run-on
A run-on sentence is a sentence that has two or more complete thoughts without proper punctuation. This makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. For example: I have a dog she runs fast. There are two complete ideas, but they aren't punctuated correctly. It's also missing a conjunction. Two join the ideas, it must be changed to: I have a dog, and she runs fast.
A fragment is an incomplete sentence. Most fragments are dependent clauses. For example: Since the dog runs fast. This is a fragment because of the word "since". Since tells you that there should be some follow up information about the dog running fast. Since the dog runs fast, she must always be on a leash.
You should begin with a chart that separates both similarities and differences. Read both articles and annotate everything you notice on to the chart. You could then begin drafting all your work and revise.
A is the correct answer
good luck
I would say tense and uncomfortable because "it was undoubtedly hot" "he began to sweat" "began to throb in his ears" the sweat and heat makes it very uncomfortable also, the rumbling and throbbing sound makes it tense.
hope this helps :D
