Question

At dusk, he moves among the dying plains

of winter wheat and walks a sharpened pace

to stretch the life that’s puddled in his veins,

muster up some color in his face,

and see what he can salvage from the dust:

this season’s bitterness has starved his grain

What is the persons problem in these lines
He is getting old.
His has lost the crop.
He has lost all hope.
He is feeling bitter.

Answer 1

The person's problem in these lines primarily reflects that **he has lost the crop**. The imagery of "dying plains of winter wheat," "season's bitterness," and "starved his grain" suggests a struggle with the loss or failure of a harvest, indicating a significant agricultural or personal loss. While there are elements of aging, bitterness, and a search for hope, the central issue portrayed in the poem is the loss of the crop.
