Women in our society are obsessed with personal appearance some would say. Sylvia Plath’s poem “Mirror” emphasizes just how much people care about their appearance. Mirrors tell the truth‚ but people have a hard time accepting it. I believe that Sylvia Plath uses the mirror as a living entity to convey the message that accepting oneself is a hard process‚ but everyone is capable of doing it. The poem’s title “Mirror” is very important because the mirror in the poem is the speaker. The poem allows

Personal Response to Children of Men The film Children of Men made me feel a range of emotions. Fear‚ dread and shock were some of my reactions to the various scenes in the film. The whole idea of this dystopian society seemed so realistic and possible that I felt fear for the potential our society has to slowly evolve into a similar situation. Alfonso Cuaron used cinematography and sound to increase suspense and tension‚ which created fear as well. A commonly used aspect of cinematography

Personal Response A man had been standing at the blank intersection for a while now wearing a brown worn-out shirt and baggy pants‚ not quite appealing to anyone but yet caught the attention of many. He was not moving‚ not even an inch‚ like something had grabbed on to him purposely making him immobile and blankly staring across the distance. The streets that had been walked on by million people a day looked empty‚ according to how his eyes viewed it‚ still and calm. It seems like nothing could make

British Literature Hinkley 8 Dec. 2012 Personal Response Jane Austen’s novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ is a great representation of how life in the 1800s would have been. Placement in society played a major role and most of her characters only did what society permitted them to do. The people who you were surrounded around either broke you or made you an influence on the town. The women seemed to look only for someone to marry them‚ not for someone to love them. The women in this novel‚ searched

Girl Before a Mirror shows Picasso’s young mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter‚ one of his favorite subjects in the early 1930s. Her white-haloed profile‚ rendered in a smooth lavender pink‚ appears serene. But it merges with a more roughly painted‚ frontal view of her face—a crescent‚ like the moon‚ yet intensely yellow‚ like the sun‚ and "made up" with a gilding of rouge‚ lipstick‚ and green eye-shadow. Perhaps the painting suggests both Walter’s day-self and her night-self‚ both her tranquillity and

Lesson 1-Personal Response Agamemnon I believe that Agamemnon is a protagonist character with selfish intentions in the play‚ Agamemnon. Although‚ he does make a few errors in his period of ruling. Overall‚ I believe he is a hubris person as he holds great pride in himself‚ his actions and his decisions. I believe that his intentions of his actions are only meant for his own benefit and that he believes no one else’s value should be more than his value. He has very little effect but‚ a very important
