Re-read the poem "To a Poor Old Woman" by William Carlos Williams, then answer the question that follows.
munching a plum on
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand
They taste good to her
They taste good
to her. They taste
good to her
You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand
Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her
A theme of the poem is --
Question 3 options:
People don't notice those around them unless they make an effort to look
Poverty makes people lose their dignity
People can find great joy in simple things
Hunger drives people to behave like animals
