when I watch you
wrapped up like garbage
sitting, surrounded by the smell
of too old potato peels
or
when I watch you
in your old man's shoes
with the little toe cut out
sitting, waiting for your mind
like next week's grocery
I say
when I watch you
you wet brown bag of a woman
who used to be the best looking gal in Georgia
used to be called the Georgia Rose
I stand up
through your destruction
I stand up Which lines from the poem best support the theme that people can learn from others' struggles?

A. through your destruction / I stand up
B. I say / when I watch you
C. when I watch you / wrapped up like garbage
D. sitting, waiting for your mind /like next week's groceries

Respuesta :

A. through your destruction / I stand up. This line implies that it is precisely because of the "destruction" of the other person, which the persona is able to feel "through" or empathise with, that the persona is able to "stand up", or help himself.

Another way of saying is that the persona learns great things by letting his mind go through the "destruct[ive]" events that the other person had gone through. The words "stand up" connotes victory in adversity, or improvement to become greater than what the persona used to be.

Thus, one is able to learn and improve through others' struggles.

Hope this helps! :)
