The Beginning
on the first day i was going strong. every time i went into my room i shielded my face from my huge mirro on the wall. erytime i went to use the bathroom, i looked down when i walked into the bathroom. i tied my hair into a bun with out looking in the mirror and put on a very cute outfit to distract from how i looked, just in case if i looked wierd.i didn't put on any make-up for the whole day. i would pinch myself everytime i even thought about cheating, but on the second i accidentally looked in the mirror when i woke up. then i just went about my usual normal daily routine and put on make up, a normal outfit, and did my hair nicely.

The Middle
on the third day i gave up, much like the second and i didnt care at first. i put on alot of make up on and a flashy outfit. i constantly looked in the mirror and did my hair in the morning. i actually spent most of my morning on my hair that day! then i even looked at my shoes in the mirror and spent most of my bathroom breaks fixing my hair and touching up my make-up. then, before i went to bed, i decided that i wanted to try again on the fouth day. all went well when i woke up, i rememberede not to look into the mirror when i got up from my bed. then i went by my daily routine (without the mirror of course!) then i accidentaly looked in the mirror again, but this time it was when i was taking a bathroom break in school in the middle of the day.

The End
When I reached the end i realized that it is illogical to not want to look in the mirror. we have to look at ourselves to make sure we are presentable to the world, and to see if there is anything wrong with your body, hair or face.there could be something wrong with our appearance and some might consider the way we look inappropriate, or unconvienient. sometimes you might even make others uncomfortable in a certain situation if you don't know what you look like. and in some cases you have to check your body- as mentioned before- to see if you are safe, or if anything is going wrong or not funtioning right. for example if you had a black eye, you would need to check if it was healing by looking in the mirror. so looking in the mirror isn't bad all the time, only if you do it obsessivly, and over do it is it considered vanity.

my picture was based on when siddhartha reached enlightnment. this is the quote that inspired me that gave an example of what he thought of the world: "Here was blue, here was yellow, here was green, sky and river, woods and mountains, all beautiful, all mysterious and enchanting, and in the midst of it, he, Siddhartha, the awakened one, on the way to himself. All this, all this yellow and blue, river and wood, passed for the first time across Siddhartha's eyes. It was no longer the magic of Mara, it was no more the veil of Maya, it was no longer meaningless and the chance diversities of the appearances of the world, despised by deep-thinking Brahmins, who scorned diversity, who sought unity."(39 Hesse) that is why i decided to put in alot of blue and yellow swirls in the background of siddhartha in the river.

quote from book//:// "he saw no more images, he was immersed in emptiness, he let himself sink into it [the river] without seeing a way out"

(he sunk into the river to try to kill him self b/c he was depressed about his son, and so he wanted to get away from the fact that he lost him, wich in the song is something biggger than siddhartha.)

If you get sleep or if you get none (The cock’s gonna call in the morning, baby) //Check the cupboard for your daddy’s gun// (Red sun rises like an early warning) //The Lord’s gonna come for your first born son// (His hair’s on fire and his heart is burning) //Go to the river where the water runs// //(Wash him deep where the tides are turning)//

quote from book: "But the following morning he [the son] had disapeared. Also gone was a little basket...in wich the ferrymen kept the copper and silver coins they recieved as fare.(67)" "... he saw no more images, he was immersed in emptiness, he let himself sink into it (the river) without seeing a way out (68)" (the son steals from the dad, and destiny takes him away from the father,wich in the song takes the place of the lord)
