Singer uses multiple examples to dramatize our moral responsibility in reducing world hunger: a child drowning in a pond, a child imperiled on a railroad track

Singer uses multiple examples to dramatize our moral responsibility in reducing world hunger: a child drowning in a pond, a child imperiled on a railroad track. In what way are these examples similar with respect to the central argument that he is making? Do you agree with Singer that it is our moral obligation to save a child’s life if we are able to do so without great sacrifice on our part? Why or why not?
