A Day's Wait

"A Day's Wait" is a story in which a young boy thinks that his fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit is fatal. His father is reading to him to help him fall asleep, but the boys says that he would rather stay awake. We later discover that this is because the boy believes he will never wake up. The boy was in France when his peers told him that one could not live with a fever of 44 degrees. Little did the boy know, his peers were talking about a celcius thermometer. When the boy described his situation to his mother, she quotes, "Poor old Schatz. It's like miles and kilometers. You aren't going to die." The boy's detection of his well-being soothed him into sleep until the morning when he unsurprisingly awoke.

Jessy Yo's Memorable Moment

My memorable moment in The Grapes of Wrath is the very beggining when Tom convinces the truck driver to give him a ride. It is my favorite moment because it shows how he can persuade people, and it was kind of a comical scene once you think about it. It also shows the struggle between doing wrong and right. Once in the truck you can tell the man wants to ask all kinds of questions, but he holds back; instead tells about his plans on taking night classes and making alot more money. Tom finally tells what he did to be in jail when let off at his stop.
