The themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath's "Mirror" are truth and dishonesty and the waning of beauty over time.

"Mirror" is a short poem written by Plath in 1961, a time in her life when she dreaded the idea of getting old. The poem reflects this fear and her emotional state.

There is a line in the poem that says "I am not cruel, only truthful". What she means is that<u> the mirror never lies and, as "a little god", it is capable of see it all.</u> In this sense,<u> the mirror is omniscient, as opposed to the "liars": the candles and the moon.</u> Furthermore, there is a line in the poem that says "Faces and darkness separate us over and over" where <u>she refers to the passing of time and how fast a young girl can become an old woman</u>. Over the course of the poem, there are several lines that reflect the fear of growing old and the fading of beauty.

Why does Stacey’s wool jacket become a more emotionally charged symbol as the plot unfolds?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It becomes an emotionally charged symbol when He gave it away to cunny T.J and uncle Hammer seized the opportunity to teach him some lessons about life.

Explanation:

Stacey's wool jacket was a gift that was handed to him by Uncle Hammer. Stacey's parents were of little means so the expensive jacket though a little oversize got the admiration of all in the house including Stacey himself. But when they went to church and T.J., his friend saw him in the jacket, he covered his jealousy by taunting Stacey, telling him that he looked like a preacher in the coat. Stacey who was intimidated by this later gave his coat away.

When Unce Hammer learned of this, he was angry but used the opportunity to teach Stacey that when he had something good, he should never be intimidated by others or convinced to give it away. He maintained that T.J. should have the coat since he knew its value and was able to make Stacey give it away.

Use the idiom "lift the spirits" in a sentence. *
Alchen [17]

One good way of making use of an idiom in a sentence is:

  • The talk given to use by the principal did a lot to lift the spirits of the students.

The idiomatic phrase "lift the spirits" shows that a person who was previously sad or depressed had that mood changed and is now much happier than before.

With this in mind, we can see that this shows that words, encouragements, rewards, etc can help to lift the spirit of a person in any situation.
