solutions the one I have my money on is the ‘mirror neuron’ theory So this would make contagious yawning the result of mirror neurons — the neurons that are active when we do something and when we see someone else do the same thing. This is sensible‚ since yawning is a pretty basic physical experience that we can easily undertake and observe. Yet there’s also a correlation between empathy and contagious yawning‚ which would further suggest that mirror neurons are connected to empathy as well.

If the mirror were not personified‚ the entire meaning of the poem would be changed drastically. The personification of the mirror allows the story to be narrated from the mirror’s perspective. There are several places in which personification is used to demonstrate the perspective of the mirror. In line 7‚ the mirror states‚ "... I have looked at it so long..." Mirrors can not look at other objects because looking is a characteristic of a living object. Mirrors can only reflect what can be viewed

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.

Perhaps the painting suggests both Walter’s day-self and her night-self‚ both her tranquillity and
