“He considers also a little fragile,because artistic:
I need to be cared for, like a potted plant. A little
pruning, a little watering, a little weeding and
straightening up to bring out the best in me.”
Based on Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye, the “me” in the above passage is seen as
- dynamic, to be cherished
- an object to be protected
- an ornament to be admired
-
something to be tended
