"mirror"

English
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

In the poem, we note an interesting detail in the last two lines as to why the old woman sees herself as a "terrible fish". The line says,

<em>"In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman / Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish."</em>

The woman uses such expressions above to show that with the passage of time, her youthfulness like a drowning fish has passed away, bringing old age.

By comparing herself to a fish, she symbolizes her aging self to a fish on land seeking survival after it is taken from its natural habitat.

By using the expression "terrible" she depicts her hopeless condition as regards becoming young again, just as a fish taken from water enters a terrible situation.

I'd choose this dialogue to revise your sentence:
<span>“Did you hear?” I asked them. “My painting got selected! Exciting, right?” I smiled. “Especially given that I felt so incompetent at the beginning and that the competition was ruthless!”
</span>
It feels like the option that best uses the dialogue to improve this sentence, because the other options are either too informal or just the same sentence as the original one.

Marat540 [252]

The three sentences in the story that indicates the passage is an ex nihilo type of creation story are:

  1. There was as yet no man, nor any animal, nor bird, nor fish, nor crawfish, nor any pit, nor ravine, nor green herb, nor any tree; nothing was but the firmament.
  2. Lo, now how the heavens exist, how exists also the Heart of Heaven; such is the name of God; it is thus that he is called.  
  3. And the creation was verily after this wise: Earth, they said, and on the instant it was formed; like a cloud or a fog was its beginning.

<h3>What is ex nihilo?</h3>
