Read the excerpt from "One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
What does the use of the words losing, lost, and loss in these lines show about the speaker?
She is concerned about getting lost.
She often thinks about the items she lost.
She realizes that loss happens often.
She is consumed by the idea of losing.
