●The setting of the story was set before 09:00 a.m. one morning when Schatz came into his father`s room, and specifically inside Schatz's house, in a country other than France. It was probably fall or winter as there are descriptions in the story of frozen ice in the ground.
●The important character in the story was of course Schatz. He was both the protagonist and the antagonist. He is both positive and negative in the story. His father and the doctors were necessary characters to reinforce the conflict and help develop the resolution of the story.
●A short story is not without a conflict. In this case, it is about the high fever of Schatz. Because he was ill, he felt no better. Thus, he was snobbish and disobedient. ●The climax is when Schatz was convinced that he was about to die, because he was told by some boys while he was in France that temperatures reaching more than 45 degrees can mean that he would die soon. ●The resolution of the conflict was done when Schatz father explained to him the differences in reading body temperatures. With that he became relaxed and calmed, he even cried for all the things that happened.
The story opens as a father discovers that his 9-year-old boy, Schatz, has a fever. The father sends for the doctor and he diagnoses a mild case of influenza. As long as the fever doesn’t go above 104 degrees, the doctor says, the boy will be fine, and he leaves three different types of medication for the father to administer with instructions for each. Schatz’s temperature is determined to be 102 degrees.
When the doctor leaves, the father reads
