I watch the poor , old , crumpled women that are pulled out of the backs of pickup trucks with their big , elephant feet twisted in awful directions . Yesterday I was sitting on a plastic stool outside my house watching a half dead lizard being devoured by ants and wondering what I was doing here . The sun had just set . 
Question: What's a possible reason the writer was watching a half dead lizard being devoured by ants ?
Because they found that to be interesting .
