"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.

sesenic [268]

The answer is c.) He wants Jim to keep a journal on it.

“What do we want of a shirt, Tom?”  

“Want it for Jim to keep a journal on.”  

“Journal your granny—Jim can’t write.”  

“S’pose he can’t write—he can make marks on the shirt, can’t he, if we make him a pen out of an old pewter spoon or a piece of an old iron barrel-hoop?”  

“Why, Tom, we can pull a feather out of a goose and make him a better one; and quicker, too.”  "
