"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.

<span>I watched as she slid across the floor. She looked like a seal sliding from the tub to the radiator. The entire journey was about 10 feet, but it felt like it took around 10 minutes for her to make that slide. Head first she bonked into the radiator, still wet and slightly covered by soap, shampoo and the shower curtain trailing her like some cape. Map woman. Europe and Africa covering her more delicate bits as she slid. I stood there, unsure how to react. Should I pick her up? Do I laugh? Do I just sit there and try to calculate what exactly happen. I smiled while I wait for her reaction, which is a mixture of tears, laughter, and sheer embarrassment. I finally get the ability to laugh to the ridiculousness of her and this moment, sliding like a seal into the radiator. It was the most graceful thing I've ever seen her do.</span>
