So, one of my favorite stories is from you, the one about how mirrors are weapons regardless of what state they are in. That's important because some kids look in a mirror and their self esteem dies. And there's no reason why it should but it does. I love that story.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite stories is "Mirrors, shattered or not, are weapons." This story is really great I think because of the connotations it has in today's society. Today, looking good is such a big deal and some people even live by the mantra "Beauty is Pain" or "Pain is Beauty", I don't remember which one it is. A shattered mirror is obviously a weapon, because it's basically the same thing as shattered glass. However, youth today see these super skinny, photoshopped models or actors like Scarlett Johansson or Leonardo DiCaprio in magazines, and they want to be exactly like them. However, when they look in the mirror and see only themselves (besides maybe some makeup, depending on the person, they take a hit to their self-esteem and this can cause issues in confidence. The impact is compounded if someone later on calls them ugly or unattractive.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I just had to comment about your "mirrors, shattered or not, are weapons" since this just called forward to my attention through most of the 6 word stories. To my interpretation I can relate to this, looking at yourself in the mirror and not liking what you see , hurts your self esteem as others stated . Not only that but it makes you feel horrible. But it gets to the point where you're just like 'whatever.' In the other case scenario what's possible is using a shattered mirror as a weapon to create scars, scars that help take away the pain for a while, but not long enough. Cutting through flesh, not asking for anything else but pain. I guess it was just a really deep story. I enjoyed it very much, it's relatable. Society and issues of today. . . But yeah great stories!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I especially love the mirrors sentence. You created a myriad of possibilities to interpret that sentence only using six words, incredible. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHeyyyyy. Guess what? You're an amazing writer, but of course I figured that out in elementary school! I know everyone seems to be talking about your mirror sentence and how unique it is, though honestly every sentence is my personal favorite. YES. YOU DID THAT!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone. you're story about mirrors is by far my favorite. i think it has a really deep connection to the quality and outlook of our society these days and that was something that was truly able to connect to the reader.
ReplyDeleteI really like the third story because it shows deep and true meaning and it will leave people thinking about it lonng after they've read it.
