A smile does not always indicate happiness.'
Does My Mother at Sixty-Six reflect this statement? Justify your response with an example from the poem.
Answer:
- Yes, the poem reflects this statement.
- This can be observed when the poet becomes painfully aware of the possibility of losing her ageing mother and chooses to hide it behind her smile / she hides the fear of losing her mother behind her smile to show her mother a happy face.
