How does twain use the mirror in this fable? i dont think its the second option but i cant decide on if its the first third or last

He uses it to allude to other fables and fairy tales.

Explanation:

This fable can be seen as a social and literary commentary. Twain uses the mirror in this fable in order to explain the role that interpretation plays in texts. He presents animals who are meant to be looking at a work of art. However, all they can see is themselves. In this way, Twain references how readers interpret a text. Although many people might be looking at the same work of art, they will each see a different thing in it, because they will see themselves. In this way, Twain's commentary applies to other fables and fairy tales.

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.

im not sure about this one
