HER ER DEN:::::

Summary:
Nick, his father and Uncle George are rowing to the Indian Camp. Because there is an Indian woman very sick. When they reach the Camp, near by the shanties they can hear a woman screaming. It is a woman, who is trying to have her baby for two days. The woman is lying in the lower bunk; her husband is lying in the upper. He has cut his foot with an axe three. He rolls over against the wall, when Nick, his father and Uncle George arrives. The woman needs a Caesarean section. Nicks’ father does the Caesarean with a jack-knife. And he sews it up with nine-foot, tapered gut leaders. The husband has been very silent under the labour. That is not normal. Nicks father pulls back the blanket from the husbands’ head and they all notice that he already is dead. He has committed suicide silently. Nicks father requests Nick to go out of the shanty. Nick’s father regrets for bringing Nick along. On their way back home, Nick fells sure, that he would never die.
Characterization of Nick:
Nick, the main character of the story, is a very young boy (we do not know his age). I would guess that he is from a wealthy family, because of his fathers’ position. I fell Nick for being a very mature boy, even thought he did not accompanied his father that much under the operation. I would guess that he is aware of his future, precisely that he has to be a doctor, just like his Daddy. His father is in a way teaching Nick how to be a doctor. “What she is going through is called . . . That is what is happening when she screams.”. (s14 l. 3-6). He is a sweet and well-mannered boy, he listens to his father and never ignore his father, even though he do not like the situation.
He has not seen the real world, the bad sides of the world, he has no worries. He is looking at the world with another perspective, everything is beautiful and enjoyable for him until his little trip to the Indian Camp.
The suicide in the Camp changed Nick. I do not think he had seen dead that close before. It expresses itself from the dialogue between Nick and his father at the end of the story. ”Is dying hard, Daddy.” (s.16 l. 19). In his little world dead is something you handle by yourself. The point is that dead is not naturally. And I think that is the reason for why he at the end says,” he felt quite sure that he would never die”. (s.16 l. 26)

Hej :)

Jeg kunne ikke nå at rette det hele, men her det jeg havde tid til. rettelserne ståt i parantes efter det der skal rettes.

Nick, his father and Uncle George are rowing to the Indian Camp. Because there is an Indian woman very sick (because there is an Indian woman who is very sick eller because there is a very sick Indian woman). When they reach the Camp, near by the shanties they can hear a woman screaming. It is a woman, who is trying to have her baby for two days (who has tried to give birth for two days). The woman is lying in the lower bunk; her husband is lying in the upper. He has cut his foot with (on? har han skåret sig med den eller på den?) an axe three. He rolls over against the wall, when Nick, his father and Uncle George arrives. The woman needs a Caesarean section. Nicks’ father does the Caesarean with a jack-knife. And he sews it up with nine-foot, tapered gut leaders. The husband has been very silent under (during, bruges om "under" et forløb) the labour. That is not normal. Nicks father pulls back the blanket from the husbands’ head and they all notice that he already is dead (that he is dead already). He has committed suicide silently. Nicks father requests Nick to go out of the shanty. Nick’s father regrets for bringing Nick along (Nick's father regrets that he brought Nick along). On their way back home, Nick fells (feels) sure, that he would never die.
