Day 21 Part 2: Article

I didn't really have room to write about this poem on the first post. When I found this poem, I couldn't believe it. So I read all the way through it then decided that it had a deeper meaning then most people would assign to it. Tricks with Mirrors by Margaret Atwood is a poem that really defines what women think now a days even through many of us have gotten up and out from under the power that men once held over us. We, women have turned from being under the thumb of a man to being equals and standing on our own in this world but sometimes it might seem as if we are just being told what to do every second of every day. It makes us feel like mirrors because we can't do anything about it at all. So by breaking that status quo from so long ago, is so important now a days because women can be whatever that they so desire without the need to have a man in their life. Mirrors in this image is strange because women have been viewed as possessions for most of world history but even that started to change last century and even more so in this century. I believe that is highly important to be a strong and independent woman in today's culture because of the changes that are happening daily. I hope that you enjoyed the poem that was today's article.
