Answer:

C) This metaphor is important because water symbolizes youth and beauty, which the mirror reflects.

Explanation:

Metaphors are frequently used in poetry as a powerful figure of speech that conveys deeper meaning. By comparing two different things metaphorically, the author creates poetic and expressive imagery.

In the example from the question, a metaphor compares a mirror to a lake in a poetic manner, since the mirror reflects an image placed before it. When the woman looks into the mirror, she sees her youthful and attractive self. Water in a lake often symbolizes eternal youthfulness and the beauty reflected in its surface.

At the end of "Notes of a Native Son," what argument does James Baldwin make that resolves one of his central ideas? A.That free
hammer [7621]

In the conclusion of "Notes of a Native Son," Baldwin asserts that one must choose between hatred and acceptance.

Following his father's death, Baldwin experienced an epiphany: he finally grasped the significance behind his father's long-held beliefs. He concludes that harboring bitterness and choosing to hate is unwise: "But I recognized this bitterness was folly, as my father would have remarked. It was crucial to cling to what truly mattered."

He goes on to highlight two mindsets a person can adopt: total acceptance or rejection. Total acceptance equates to conformity, normalizing injustice and leading a life where it seems that change is impossible. Conversely, non-acceptance means actively resisting and not taking injustice for granted.

However, this struggle must be free from hatred, as hatred also harms the hater. Baldwin states, "It is now my responsibility to keep my heart free from hatred and despair." No one else could make that choice for him. Regardless of how contradictory these ideas may seem, he opted for acceptance without hatred.
