When you see yourself in the mirror , you picture yourself beautiful and prominent, but in reality that may not be the case. A mirror can change the whole perspective of just about anything. In the book Speak mirrors are a very important aspect.
On page 50 third paragraph, Melinda covers up the mirror. I think that symbolizes that she doesn’t want to see herself because she is broken mentally and physically. The reason I say that is because she didn’t want to see herself, because she was feeling so bad about herself. So in fact she was covering up her identity.
Even though Melinda covered her mirror, breaking the mirror was more important. On page 195 it describes that the mirror had broken, symbolizing that Melinda had been broken of her old personality and had evolved into a more independent, strong individual. When she held the broken glass up to Andy Evans’ throat, it symbolized that she would have harmed and possibly killed him. Implying that she was fed up of hiding and sulking because of him.
Besides the fact that she cut Andy Evans there is also the aspect that she pictures herself an ugly fiend. When on page 17 Melinda is describing herself in a not so beautiful way. She described herself very atrocious manner, because of the fact that she was feeling like a slum.
When you look in a mirror you see many things. In the book Speak mirrors are a vital aspect.

I liked the fact that you explained how Melinda felt and why she acted that way. It was a very good essay on symbolism. Next time try and make it longer and pack more details in.
I like how you told hoe Melinda really felt. You can really create a mental picture in your head of whats going on. I dont think you need to make any changes. This essay is very well written. (:
I liked how you based your whole paper around the mirrors in the story. Your strengths are using strong vocabulary. You might consider making your essay longer and put in more details and though your vocabulary is strong, vary it a little more than you have in this paper. Next time, just try to make your piece a little longer.
I liked your whole paper but the first sentence in the intro didn't make sence to me.Still good job.
Wow Rajiv! You have excelent word choice. Your examples are well thought out as well. Very nice paper Rajiv.
Rajiv, I liked how you related her to the mirror. That at times she cant look at herself in the mirror, and at times she can.
I liked the word choice and how you related her to the mirror.
I really liked you essay.I liked the second paragraph and what it said. The only thing I didn't like was that you were talking about one topic. But otherwise nice job on it.
