Mirror Essay

the subordination women and hypermasculinity from men was normal (“Masculinity”). Additionally, the poem, Mirror, is summarized as a “variation on the theme searching for self in reflection because the woman in the mirror is seeing a reflection not of herself but of the self she is constrained to be by male expectation” (Freedman).

Is this self-capable of change, or is it at a fixed state? An episode from radio lab called “Who am I?” discusses several of these possible selves. In doing so it will create an introspection of my own interpretation on who I am. The primary study discussed involves chimpanzees and a mirror. The purpose of this study was to investigate where…

Space-time is like a mirror. Nothing exists in the mirror, but mirror can manifest everything at all its points.

A mirror can manifest different physical entities at the same point, but not to the same observer. Space-time remains unaffected by…

brought Circle Mirror Transformation to a sweet spot between real and surreal. Annie Baker’s true-to-life writing style was taken and injected with movement to spark the creative mind. An ever changing stage was a clear foundation for the experimentation. Additionally, more movement between actors effectively clarified relationships and the tone of the play. However, with some major and minor tweaks to clean up Jonathan’s actor’s patterning and adjust the space’s architecture, Circle Mirror…

The Phoenix, books, hands, and mirrors are all crucial symbols in the story that Montag connects with. Each symbol helps describe unique parts of Montag that he gradually…
