Mirrored stories
While I began my English homework tonight, which partly was to read a poem called Mirrors by Sylvia Plath, I read through the poem like anyone would. It starts out stating that the speaker is a mirror and reflects who you are. It states that it is "not cruel, only truthful," and that it is "unmisted by love or dislike." The next stanza then states that it is a lake, and begins talking about that person's reflection. It describes how she looks from the water's point of view, such as "I see her back, and reflect it faithfully." While reading this poem, I begin to think about the movie The Lake House. The Lake House is about a couple that have lived in th same house, one in 2004, and the other in 2006. Although I don't quite understand how, they end up sending letters to each other and falling in love. Now I won't ruin the end of the movie for you, but it is a very good story. The only downfall is that it can get confusing unless you watch it multiple times. I still don't quite understand it fully. Besides the point, when I read the second stanza in Mirrors about being a lake and reflecting that person, it reminded me of how the couple fell in love in The Lake House, centered around that lake.
