But in most cases these are men, usually with an unhealthy appetite for alcohol. Only New York, it seems, attracts this peculiar populace of lone and homeless women who live in an isolated, mistrustful world of their own.. Shopping-bag ladies do not drink. They do not huddle together for warmth and companionship like bums. They do not seem to like one another very much. Neither are they too keen on conventional people. Urban hermits, one sociologist has called them . They will spend their days and nights in the same neighborhood for months on end, then disappear as inexplicably as they came. They know the hours when restaurants put their leftovers in the garbage cans where they search for food. And local residents, seeing the same bag lady on the same corner every day, will slip her some change as they pass. Shopping-bag ladies do not overtly beg, but they do not refuse what is offered. Once a shopping-bag lady becomes a figure of your neighborhood, it is as hard to pass her by without giving her some money as it is to ignore the collection box in church.. And although you may not like it ,if she chooses your doorway as her place to sleep in the night , it is as morally hard to turn her away as it is a lost dog.

passage, while the author is describing what happens according to the time sequer she takes care to zero in on a single dominant impression that is to be left to readers Look at the following chart and you will find 1. The first part of the passage consists of 4 paragraphs, from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 4, telling us something about"T', the author-a medical worker, the ntient-Mrs. Clark and how the patient is. The descriptions are presented in a chronological order. First the author tells us that she has never seen the patient-Mrs. Clark before and she learns from the medical report that the patient will die that night. Then the author describes what she sees on entering the room in Paragraph 2. From Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 4, the author gives a detailed description about the patients conditions-she is very thin; the skin hangs loosely around her skeleton her sunken chest rises and falls with the uneven breaths when the author feels about the patient she is shocked to find her thin fingers ice cold and her pulse faint. All the descriptions join to leave readers a dominant impression that the patient is dying The second part has only one paragraph, Paragraph 5, which is arranged according to the time sequence too, though without any time markers. We can understand the time sequence from our knowledge of the real world after the author examines the patient, she does something for the patient as a medical worker. Through her service to the patient, the author creates a dominant impression on readers that the patient is seriously ill, too weak for anything 3. The third part is made up of 2 paragraphs, from Paragraph 6 to Paragraph 7 Here we have a clear time marker: "When I am finished "with helping the patient We have the real exchange between the two human beings. It is also the first time that the author mentions that the patients graceful hands catch her attention. And in this part the author comes to understand what is in the patients mind. The patient chooses to send her family home and expresses her thanks to the author for being with her at this special moment 4. The fourth part is Paragraph 8. We can find the time marker-""Some unknown interval of time passes before her eyes open again", which clearly connects the present part to the preced ing one. The patient dies. and the author seems to have a better understanding of the patient. Mrs. Clark spares her family from seeing her die and the author feels it a privilege to be there with the patient 5. The fifth part is Paragraph 9. It is only two days after Mrs Clarks death that the Ithor comes to learn more about her from the newspaper. 6. The last part is Paragraph 10--only one line: Yes, they were long and graceful fingers. It leaves readers much space for further thoughts
