I sat down on the park bench by the Mirror Lake that was closest to the fountain. Even though nobody was sitting on the seven foot long bench‚ I sat on one corner occupying the minimum amount of space possible.

Self-hatred can ruin your life if you let it control your thoughts and actions. This is one of the many themes in “Mirror Image” and I think it is the most important. Humans have a tendency to dislike themselves and only see their faults. The first sentence‚ “If only there were no mirrors” talks about how she doesn’t actually want to see how she looks and that life would be easier without seeing how you look all the time. Alice had a brain transplant and since she has a different body she has started
