Why can you see your reflection in an unbroken mirror but cannot see your reflection in a broken mirror?

An unbroken mirror, assuming it is plain and flat, reflects all the light that hits it back to you. If the mirror is broken, the pieces are bent and therefore you may be able to see parts of object but not in its entirety. The light that hits the mirror is reflected in different directions and is not directed into your eyes.
