first appeared maybe a month ago Each morning I watch as she gets out from the narrow space between the two large buildings across from mine She wears the same dirty badly torn dress every day I can see she fights to pull herself up into a standing position She fails on the first two or three tries but determination always wins out She remains leaning against the wall for several long minutes appearing to gather the necessary strength needed to pick up her possessions all packed into five plastic bags With tears in my eyes I watch as she places her feet pointing outward to avoid falling Her steps are measured and cautious as she slowly makes her way to the corner and disappears When I first noticed this woman I went across the street and offered her 20 dollars but she turned her back to me and pretended not to see me The expression on her face was one of shame causing me to feel guilt for invading her privacy The next night I bought a hotdog and a Coke and left them in the spot when she was not there Feeling like a spy I watched as she ate the hotdog like a starving cat that had not eaten for days I too often find myself complaining about life but when I look out my window and see the old woman I feel the need to apologize for my foolish pride in not realizing how fortunate I really am There are many poor people in my town I have become familiar with many of their faces and then suddenly they disappear I know that one day the old woman will be gone and I will have no idea where she is I fear that day 21 What is the main idea of paragraph 2 A Life is tough for the
