What is the author’s purpose in using a mirror as a symbol??

English
1 answer:
Alik [6]3 years ago
3 0
Author's purpose for using a mirror varies. For example Laurie Halse Anderson, in her book Speak, uses the mirror as a symbol, to show Melinda's frustrations towards herself, such as appearance.
Seeing that Melinda was rap ed, she after avoids the mirror at all times. This can be interpreted as her inability to face her feelings. She also states "she can't see herself", and that shows us that her sense of identity has been altered by the rap e.
It's safe to say that a mirror can be a symbol of physical and spiritual reflection. Hope this helps.

valina [46]

After reading the sentences, we can tell we are supposed to use the words in parentheses to form phrases that will complete the blank spaces. We can do it in the following manner:

  1. My brother <u>was on his own</u> when the accident happened.
  2. I <u>gave up on reading</u> the book after the first three chapter because it was so boring.
  3. The heat <u>made it impossible fo</u>r me to get on with my work.

This question requires knowledge about collocations.

<h3>What are collocations?</h3>
  • Collocations are words that are often used together in order to convey meaning. Their joint usage is so common that we say they sound good and natural together.
  • Let's use number 1 above as an example. We must use the word "own" to fill in the blank. We also know that we should say something implying that the brother was alone.
  • The best option is to say <u>he was on his own</u> when the accident happened. "To be on one's own" means to be alone, and it is a common phrase (collocation) to use and express such meaning.
