Jeg skulle skrive et summary af Ernest Hemningsway, The Indinan Camp.

Hvad syntes i om det?

 

 

 

 


Indian Camp is a story written by Ernest Hemingway. The story is about a boy called Nick, his father and his Uncle George.

They are getting rowed across the lake by two Indians males. Nick’s father tells him that they are going to the Indian camp, because a woman there is sick. On the other side of the lake they walk though a logging road, following the Indian. They turn around a bend and arrive to the shanties. Inside the first shanty, screams the young Indian woman. She has been in labour for two days and she couldn’t get enough help from the old women. She lies in the lower bunk. Her husband is lying in the upper bunk.

Nicks father explains to Nick that his only option, is to perform a caesarean operation on her with his jackknife and sew it up with nine-foot tapered gut leaders, without any anaesthetic. Nicks father boils some water to wash his hands and sterilise several things.  He to uses the jacket knife to perform a caesarean on her, as Uncle George and some Indian men hold the woman down, while Nicks stands beside, and looks away so he can’t see what his father is doing with the placenta.

Nick’s father felt very elated to have performed a Caesarian. A few minutes later, he was going to check on the husband. But he discovered something unusual. The screams of his wife was enough to make the husband commit suicide. Nick’s father then wants to leave the camp along with Nick. As Nick is sitting in the boat with his father rowing, he asks a lot of questions about death, labour, and suicide. The conversation makes Nick believe he can't die.

Altså du har simpelthen mange fejl.. Plus, så virker det som om du har forstået historien forkert. Du skal nemlig skrive et resume, og ikke en fortolkning. Derfor ved du ikke, om kvindens mand begik selvmord, på grund af barselsskrigene. Men du ved derimod at Nicks far gerne vil væk fra lejren så hurtigt som muligt, fordi han føler, at det hele ikke gik som han gerne ville. Hvis jeg var dig, ville jeg simpelthen omskrive hele resumeet. Ihvertfald herfra: "Nicks father explains to Nick that his only option,..."

Novellen er meget svær at forstå, fordi mange ting virker uklare. Men efter at have læst den et par gange, og sat sig selv i deres spor, vil man forstå, at faren gerne vil have sin søn til at gå i samme fodspor. Han kunne godt tænke sig at demonstrere hvor godt det er at være læge og helbrede folk, men det begynder at gå galt, allerede fra, dengang han glemte at tage smertestillende med. Han vidste nemlig ikke at kvinden havde haft veer i næsten 2 dage.

En anden ting går galt. Og det er at hendes mand endte med at begå selvmord. Faren føler nu at det hele alligevel ikke gik som han gerne ville, og situationen overhovedet ikke har været i hans hænder, helt fra den bitre begyndelse.
