Everyone has their own identity that is made up of many factors such as culture‚ personality‚ and past. We believe that you can choose your own identity because no matter what‚ you are still the same person and you still make your own decisons. One reason you can choose your own identity is because no matter what you do to your appearance‚ your personality stays the same. In the story‚ “Mirror Images”‚ by Lena Coakley‚ she describes that your appearance doesn’t affect your identity. Coakley states

We Indians boast about unity in diversity as we have many varieties of religions‚ castes and communities but do we really appreciate and embrace this difference? The answer is a big no. We‚ in our school textbooks‚ read about this and discuss this very briefly but what we fail to do is to analyse the present situation. Today I saw a documentary on honor killings. Honor killings are done under the name of protecting the caste name. The very popular and recent case is the case of Ilavarasan and Divya

I believe that the poem "Mirror" is all about identity‚ how the image of the mirror is a reflection of Plath herself‚ searching for herself and reflecting her inner turmoil. The first stanza gives human qualities to the mirror‚ making it a prime example of personification. The mirror "mediates" and "reflects." The mirror is used to personify how young people only look at the superficial qualities of themselves as well as others. With the shift in stanzas‚ the lake becomes a metaphor. As people age

In the poem “Mirror” Sylvia Plath reflects the way society puts pressure on the way you look and can destroy you. “Mirror” is a poem told in first person by the reflection in the mirror.
