"SLICE OF LIFE" EXAMPLES FROM "A DAY'S
WAIT"
- Schatz closes the windows
because it had gotten cold in the house during the
night. - Schatz sits by the fireplace for
warmth. - The doctor arrives to diagnose Schatz. Although
unusual today, doctors often made house calls during much of the 20th
century. - The father read pirate stories to his son while
he was sick. - The father took his dog for a walk and did
some hunting along the way. - Both the dog and the man had
trouble walking on the slick ice, and both of them
fell. - The father took the boy's temperature and gave him
a glass of water. - Schatz misunderstands the temperature
reading (confusing Fahrenheit with centigrade), and the father explains to him that his
high temperature is actually normal for a bout with the
flu. - The next day, Schatz slowly began to relax, but "he
cried very easily at little things that were of no
importance."
