A piece of short fiction I chose to use was, " One, Two, Tree Little Indians" by Hugh Garner. " 'A lot of dancing you'll do,' he said, pointing to her swollen body. 'You'd better learn to stay around and take care of the kid." "The baby began to cough, and the mother turned it to its side in the bed. 'As soon as I draw my money from Cooper, I'm going to get him some cough syrup from the store,' she said. 'It won't do any good. We should take him up to the doctor in town tomorrow.' 'I can't. I've got to stay here and work.' He knew the folly of trying to reason with her. She had her heart set on earning the silk dress the woman had promised."
. . .This excerpt is explaining a discussion between two parents. The end of the excerpt is about the parents discussing the health of their child. The significance of this except is the mother does not feel her childs health is her first priority putting her work before her child. This is putting the child in danger. This relates to my second quotation. This situation the child is in is life or death. It is making the child as well as its father wish it was out of deaths grip. . .
