Which theme is present in both Plath's "Mirror" and Welty's short story "The Petrified Man"?

The decay of beauty.

These two literary works both talk about women and femininity. Plath's poem is a depressive account of a mirror which sees nothing but the opposite wall, and every morning the face of a woman appears, searching for signs of aging. However, that woman was first a girl, and now she becomes an old woman. The decay of beauty is the main indicator of transience, which drowns the meaning of life.

In Welty's Petrified Man the decay of beauty is also not the central motif. The story is about the triviality of small people's lives in a small American town. Nothing really happens. Two women talk about trifles of their everyday lives. But the motif appears when Leota and Mrs. Fletcher talk about the latter's hair falling out.

Read the following passage: This time, Jacob was in charge of picking teams for baseball at recess. He knew Sara was the best ba
nlexa [21]

Answer:

You have not offered any choices, so therefore, I will elaborate on what you have written.  

Based on the idea that he was picking teams means something in the hierarchy of recess.  I am guessing that he is in about the 5th or 6th grade, and would be embarrassed if he chose a girl first instead of his friends.  At this age and at this stage in his development, having boys on his team is much more important than having a girl.  Would this mean that he likes her?  Does he just want her for her talent of being the best batter?  His relationships with his peers that are boys are much more important to him at this time of his life.  I perceive that when he did pick a couple of boys, they agreed TOGETHER that they should get the best batter.  This way it was in the best efforts of the TEAM and not that a boy was picking a girl.
