Mirror Writings: Similar yet different



Mirror writings. They're deceptively similar yet very different. That is one of the instances in which writings are partially similar to each other. They can overlap in terms of style, ideas, scenes, or other things. That happens because a lot of writers draw inspiration from other writers. #Amlitsongs is a hashtag that was started to tweet songs and poems that are similar in a way to specific writings by Edgar Allan Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne.


The songs and poems could resemble the writings in style, images, and ideas. The following quotes from a song and a writing piece show how two pieces can create the same image.And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved” (Imagine Dragons) “But this blow was arrested by the hand of my wife. Goaded, by the interference, into a rage more than demoniacal, I withdrew my arm from her grasp and buried the axe in her brain” (Poe 30). Those writings aren’t a mirror image of each other, but if you read one, it’s similar enough to remind you of the other. That reminds you of twins; they look alike, but have different personalities.
