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

English

Alik [6]3 years ago

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.

How come its bad to tilt ur head back during a nosebleed
Mrac [35]

I don't really know. I've done this since I was 4 when I used to get nose bleeds that lasted a good while. I got them until I was an adult when a specialist cotterized(sp?) a blood vessel in my nose. I got them even then, but not as often and not as persistently.


I also put ice cold ice packs on my forehead.


I suppose you are swallowing blood that has been exposed to the air. That means it is carrying oxygenated blood. Other than being prohibited in the Bible, I don't see anything really wrong with it. When you look it up, it says that it can bring about vomiting. That never happened to me.

UkoKoshka [18]

Monsters and heroes is a fiction which is about the history and journey of a hero and is very famous and well known.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Monster and heroes is a fiction which consists of parts in it and all the parts are very famous and well known. All the parts mostly talk about the journey of a hero of the fiction. This is the central idea of the story.

Joseph Campbell's work with Mono myth is absolutely the most notable. In his book, "The Hero with a Thousand Faces", he maps out the essential account example of pretty much every story out there and really comes it down into seventeen phases in three stages. Others have made comparable examples or further consolidated Campbell's into twelve or so steps, however Campbell's work is commonly viewed as the most huge.
