12 What is paragraph 1 mostly about

introducing yourself explain three reasons why you are doing the paragraph and the theme I think

Sylvia Plath's use of common words and short lines in her writings emphasizes the sense of starkness and emptiness.

Most of Plath's poems and stories explore the theme of death. Her poetry is characterized by a dark and pessimistic atmosphere as it was always linked to the troubled life she had. Sylvia Plath was clinically depressed for most of her adult life and committed suicide at the age of 30. Her writings reproduce the presence of pain and suffering in her life, creating a mood of grief and emptiness in the reader and resorting to the use of common words such as "black", "nothing" and "dead", and short lines that contribute to reflect that sense of void.
