Answer:
It mirrors or reflects objects or a scene back. It simply throws up a reflection of whatever happens to be situated just in front of it. ... The mirror is impartial in what is reflected back. It is only when meaning is assigned to what is reflected back, that we begin to find out who is the fairest of us all.

For this analysis I will deal with the element of characterization in the short story "The Instrument" by Canadian writer Wayde Compton. It tells the story of twin brothers Albert and Donald. They used to be siamese, conjoined at the back of their heads until they underwent surgery as children to separate them.
The conflict in the story arises when one of them wants to record a documentary about their father, a former musician that seems to have become mentally ill after years of drug use. The person financing the documentary is the same millionaire that paid for the surgery decades before. While Donald wants to record the documentary and interview his father, Albert will try to stop it because he thinks their father is crazy and he will embarrass himself.
The conflict is framed through the separation between the two brothers, both physical through the surgery they underwent and the resultant emotional separation. At one point, Donald sees Albert for the first time in a while, "Donald runs a hand over his own scalp, seems to catch himself doing it, puts his palm down flat on the white table". This quotation points out that the first thing that comes to mind when they see each other is how they were joined or connected, and we may hint some longing for reconnection, even if it is through reflex actions like touching the scar in the scalp.
Answer:
Blockchain.
Explanation:
Blockchain is a type of database that stores information about an individual's activities and transactions in a block. It is different from a typical database by storing information in a block chained together for an individual and not spread across many databases.
This system of storing information allows digital databases to have a centralized 'block' for an individual, thereby allowing an easy and ready compartment of information for that person. By storing all information/ transactions of a person in one block and another person in another block, a blockchain makes it easier to 'list' the transaction history of people. Blockchain can also be known as a digital ledger for a person's transactions and keeps a record of the activities across the entire network. And it keeps the information in a systematic record thereby allowing easy and clear accessibility.
