This is, I think, the first selection on Lit that the class took up, and it showed me that this class will be “no holds barred” when it comes to the details and the violence; that’s not necessarily a bad thing. At first, it was just some doctor-to-patient kind of story, then things got really wild. The girl was constantly screaming, the parents were getting so noisy with useless chatter, and the doctor was getting really aggressive. The doctor’s enjoyment out of forcing that spoon in the young girl’s mouth was so cringe-worthy. In the end, the girl was revealed to have diphtheria and was trying to hide it from her parents. Such an odd thing; why keep a secret about diphtheria? I guess every character in the story were weird in their own ways.
