explain how does the author describe nature in day's wait?
Answers
Answer:
A Day's Wait is a short story about a young boy and his father. The character's names are not given, only that the father calls the boy, Schatz, which means darling. It is a touching story about a parent's love.
Schatz is a nine year old boy, who gets the flu. His father is worried and calls the doctor, who tells him he has a fever and that the flu is going around. He gives the father medicine and tells him that this seems like a mild case and the boy will be alright. The boy, on the other hand, stays in the bed and seems to be somewhere else. He doesn't concentrate when his father reads to him. He just lies listless in the bed.
Explanation:
The title "A Day's Wait" refers to the time period in which a young boy learns the significant difference between Centigrade and Fahrenheit.
______________________________
In the story, Schatz is afflicted with a bad case of influenza. He learns that his temperature is a hundred and two degrees. The doctor fails to mention, however, that this measurement of his temperature is in Fahrenheit. Unbeknownst to the doctor, the boy believes he is going to die; he does not realize that body temperatures can be measured in either Centigrade or Fahrenheit.
