Question: Mirror by Sylvia Plath!?
Okay, for homework we have to interpret the poem, "Mirror," by Sylvia Plath!.!.!.!.just one problem!.!.!.!.I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT'S ABOUT!!!!!!! I kind of think that it might be about someone who sees the truth for what it is!. They try not to be cruel, but like in an actual mirror, they can't help it; it's what they do and there is no hiding the truth!. Mirrors reflect what they see, as does the water in a lake, and so when one looks into it, it's sort of a "what you see is what you get" sort of deal!. She goes from being young and flamboyant to an old woman, and in the mirror!.!.!.she see's her reflection and what the surface reflects is the truth!.!.She is no longer young, but aging, a natural fact of life that happens to all!.

Is this anywhere near close!?!? Can anyone help me!?! PLEASE!!!!!!
