Question

Explain how the narrator’s mother reacts to conflict. Provide specific details from the text to support your answer.

Answer 1

The conflict in this was whose life to be saved and in both the situations, mother decided to save the life of her child.

Explanation:

The lead is written by Louise Erdrich. This is about how thankful and grateful the narrator is to her mother for the life that she has given to the narrator.

The conflict in this is the choice to be made on whose life has to be saved which comes twice in the lesson. First it comes when the mother of the narrator is pregnant but still is working with her father in a circus, an accident occurred where she saved her child and not the father. Next time it occurred when their house was on fire and she decided again to save her child's life over her.
