This type of writing is metaphorical as well as personification. the laughing wind skipping through the village is the wind passing. teasing the trees until they dance with anger is the wind shaking the tree tops

"The laughing wind skipped through the village" So the the wind was harsh and loud, "Teasing trees until they danced with anger" meaning as the wind blew hard the trees as well swayed hard, and a very happy dog runs through the grass. Its using personification and extensive adjectives to turn a plain statement into something more exciting and mysterious. ((Hoped i helped a little bit))

Consider the last two lines of the poem again. Why do you think the old woman sees herself as a terrible fish? Why did she choos
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

Explanation:

The woman sees herself as a terrible fish because her younger self is drowning and disappearing as she is getting older. Which is why this is a great form of imagery because the reader can see a terrible fish drowning just like her younger self is drowning in her new body. I believe that she chose to compare herself to a fish because she feels that she is aging fast and ultimately nearing death.

The mirror explains, in the final lines, "In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."

The woman was said to have awatched as her youth slowly disappear or fade over the years of looking into the same mirror, which is why the mirror interprets that as a kind of "drowning" of the woman's youth. While te "terrible fish," then, is the specter of old age, the total loss of youth and vitality.
