Answer:
Anna Avalon saved the narrator from the house fire that must have been started by the ashes that her father must have thrown in the bin.

Explanation:
The narrator of "The Leap" Louise Erdrich tells of how she was indebted to her now-blind mother for her very existence. Not only once, but thrice is she indebted to her for the life she is living now.
One such incident was when she was seven years old. The narrator was asleep on the first floor of the house when a fire started and engulfed the whole house. It also burned the only stairway that led upstairs. The babysitter had called the emergency workers and had gone outside. When the narrator's parents came, her mother Anna Avalon decided to take things on her own and jumped into the room through the window. Using her past training as a circus performer, <em>"she made her way up and, along her stomach, inched the length of a bough that curved above the branch that brushed the roof"</em>. Then she took the narrator and "<em>flew</em>" out of the window and safely into the firefighter's net, thus saving her life.
Swift was criticized for the ideas satirized in Gulliver's Travels because he found fault with English political parties.
The novel by Swift is itself highly critical of the English customs and government, country's religious struggle and so forth.
For instance, the two main parties in England, the Tories and Whigs are satirized by Tramecksans and Slamecksans of Lilliput. As the Slamecksans wear low heels and the Tramecksans wear high heels on their shoes, which makes them seem ridiculous and Swift criticizes King George II for his sympathy for a style of shoe.
In addition, it satirizes the divide between Catholics and Protestants, the Big Endians believed the egg should be cracked from the wider end whereas, the little Endians believed eggs should be cracked from the smaller end.
In highlighting the difference between Catholics and the protestants Swift makes the disagreement over religion seem ridiculous.
