Critique Of Each Other's Mirror By Jeanne Marie Laskas

642 Words3 Pages

The article, Each Other’s Mirror by Jeanne Marie Laskas, surrounds the lives of two identical twin sisters, who live in complete synchronization of one another. I enjoyed reading this article since it captures an open-mind perspective on this identical sisters, Isobel and Elizabeth. It is interesting to see how these sisters appreciate their connectedness and enjoy their similarities rather than their differences. For example, on page 161, “Isobel: ‘Just like anybody else. We are just like anybody else.’ In unison: ‘Except there is two.’” It allowed me to take a different perspective of this profile since my initial thoughts of this profile was that I wasn’t going to like the article because of the unusualness of these twins, but I was wrong. …show more content…

They are talking about their birthplace, and later talk about the painting that each of them did about their birthplace, Truth and Trust. The scene ends with both Betty and Isobel agreeing how close and in synch one another are. Also, this scene illustrates the characters of Betty and Isobel as inseparable twins. “The two identical couples live next door to one another, in identical houses, connected porch-to-porch by a well-trod path” (160). This statement in the first scene illustrates how both twins have a lot of similarities to the point where they have identical twin husbands. Throughout the article, it profiles how close knit the twins are and how it is different from their husbands and many other identical twins. “Marty and Mackall do not dress alike…they are not what you would call enthusiastic about the idea of being identical twins”

Although the intention of the Articles of Confederation was to create a stable government for the 13 colonies, it was sadly designed poorly resulting in an overall ineffective government. The Articles may have been rewarded with some success with respect to western lands, but the overall effect was negative, especially the economic conditions. The economic conditions were primarily the most negative aspect of the Articles of Confederation. The inability to tax settlers caused the federal government to have a serious shortfall in revenue, and the restriction to regulate trade added to the chaos.

Her Nigerian side was present but silently so; much like the absence of Fern. In that moment when she is wondering whether or not to answer to the name, she feels that “Jess” does not belong in Nigeria in the way that Wuraola might; and so she answers to the name, thus creating or awakening her dormant Nigerian twin. But it is important to note that this twin is not part of the self that is Jess but a separate entity for Jess to be when she is in this space because “Jess” does not belong or fit in this space. “Being in Nigeria awakens her to her double nature, and at the same time increases her feelings of isolation and unbelonging” (Cuder-Domínguez, 2009, p. 7). Jess is on a journey to find herself and figure out how she fits as a half-and-half person in this world and “no one can guide her in this process.
