...It seems like, that in “Indian Camp” by Hemingway, Nick and his father are doing a father and son trip. Nick’s father who is a doctor, seems plays a big role in this story. But actually Nick is kind of the main character. Uncle Gorge have asked the doctor to come to the Indian camp, where an Indian woman is very sick, she’s going to have a baby. On their way to the Indian Camp, nick is lying in the arms of his father, at the end of the boat. He is very near to his father, and seems to search love of this dad like a little boy. In that case I have to say that Nick is probably about 8-10 years old in this story. At the Indian camp, Nick’s father is trying to explain him what is going on in the little shanty. Nick act’s like he does understand that the woman is going to have a baby, and that it’s normal that she screams. But he clearly wants his father to make the woman stop screaming because he feels sorry for her. While the whole operation nick is standing in the Shanty watching most of the time his father doing his work. I think Nick is kind of scared what is going to happened. The fact that he looked away shows that he doesn’t liked what was going on, he felt bad by seeing another person suffer, but at the same time I think he maybe was a little proud too that his father can save this woman out of pain. After the operation things changed, we now know that uncle Gorge is most likely the father of the baby, and that the husband of the woman killed himself. Before the Doctor could...

...Indian Camp is written by Ernest Hemingway. The story is about Nick, Nick’s father and Nick’s uncle; George. They are rowed across the lake by two Indians. Nick’s father is going to perform a caesarian operation on a woman who has been in labor for two days. When they arrive at the shore, they are walking through a logging road to enter the shanties. Inside the shanties nick can here the woman scream. Her husband is also there, lying in the upper bunk. Nicks father performs the caesarian operation on the woman with a jackknife. After the operation the husband of the woman has committed suicide. He has cut his own throat. Nick sees him lying in his own blood. Nick and his father sails home in the daylight, but the uncle stays at the camp. Nick asks his father some questions, and lets his hand trail through the water, and in that moment he feels quite sure he will never die. Nick is the main character of this short story. Nick is a young boy accompanying his father, a doctor, on a mission (Nick lay back with his father’s arm around him. p. 12, s.11-10). In this text Nick gets to experience a very traumatic thing; suicide. Nick seems quite interested in the process of the work, because he handles the situation without crying or really having a reaction in that major. In the ending of the story Nick says he felt quite sure he will never die. He asked his father why the husband committed suicide, and his father answered that he thinks it is because that he just couldn’t stand things...

...have been around summer camps my entire life. The world needs the next generation to be more tolerant of each other’s views, ideology, and beliefs. Summer camp is an opportunity for children to be exposed to the best of human character. Carefully selected role models are dedicated to showing your child how to have fun, learn from others, and make friends in person rather than online. Camp allows kids to meet people from all over the world, every race, culture, and socioeconomic level. I still remember one of my counselors, Danny, from England, explaining to me, “The world is full of excuses. It doesn’t matter where you came from or what has happened to you. At the end of the day you choose how you treat others.” There is something magical about a summer camp experience. Each and every camp in the world is different. Not merely because of geography or location, but because of the traditions and people who have touched the camp. Every camp has hidden treasures of history and traditions that give it character and identity. Even with agency camps like the YMCA where there is a common mission, every camp is unique in its style, program, games, geography, traditions, and experience. Every staff member, alumni camper, and volunteer has memories associated with their time at their camp — memories that stay with them for their lifetime. Most people remember with fondness the coun¬selors, cabins, camp food, camp outs, and special happenings of their time. Camp is an independent experience...

...Boot Camps and Shock Treatment Programs Positive Boot camps for juveniles can have pro’s and con’s just like anything else, but do these programs actually benefit these troubled teens? Or is it just another whim that collects tax payer’s money in another form of government despair and abandonment? Some may argue the fact that these unruly children bring it upon themselves to get them there in the first place. This author will first explain about the positives of the boot camp and shock programs. Treatment Centers such as The Academy American Addiction Centers and Wilderness Therapy Treatment Programs (WTTP) is one of the larger treatment operations in the United States, the website states “To help parents, families and professionals seeking help for youth at risk and teenagers with depression, anxiety and oppositional, defiant and conduct disorders, alcohol and other drug and substance abuse, as well as school and academic problems”. (WTTC, 2011) To add to this program statement the website is also listed as a non-profit organization with non-profit interests. The parents that are able to see the trends their children are starting to fall in, can call the above program and set up a meeting time to speak to a counselor for advice or set up an appointment to schedule a time to drop their child off. These in this author’s opinion are the parents and guardians that are responsible, upstanding people who care about their children and their futures. The parents might...

...Indian Camp The Horror of Life from Birth to Death During the Modernist Movement, existentialist writers wrote about the meaninglessness of life. Existentialists believe that life is a struggle against the nothingness of the world. They believe there is no higher meaning to the existence of man, and they deny the existence of God. Ernest Hemingway portrays three different ways of coping with the meaninglessness of life in his short story “Indian Camp.” The three characters that portray the three different outlooks are Nick’s father, Uncle George, and the Indian father. Ernest Hemingway uses the environment in his short story “Indian Camp” to develop the thematic vision that there are different ways people can cope with the horror of life from the moment of birth and until death. In the short story, Hemmingway portrays a microcosm of life by including a baby’s birth and a man’s suicide in the short period of the story. The pregnant Indian woman struggles in labor for two days without any medical attention until Nick’s father’s arrival. Nick’s father describes to Uncle George after the procedure, “Doing a Caesarian with a jack-knife and sewing it up with nine-foot, tapered gut leaders” (18). The description of Ernest Hemingway INDIAN CAMP I guess the beginning of the story is quite usual and perhaps even banal. The son wants to watch his father brings new life into the world. He is a young boy who helps his father. But on the other hand, despite the fact that there is only...

...Indian Camp - by Ernest Hemingway The title doesn’t say much about the story. The title is very short, simple, and already now, we’re seeing examples of the iceberg technique. The iceberg technique is, when the author only writes about 10% of the essentials in the story. The reader has to read the last 90% between the lines. I think another reason why the title is so simple, might be that the whole story is based on Nick’s story. He chose a title that would fit into Nick’s world. Nick is just a little kid in this story, which is seen by how he sits in his father’s arms for comfort. As a little kid, a title with much meaning and a lot of complicated words doesn’t make much sense. A reason why Ernest Hemingway chose to let the title be as if it was Nick’s choice, might be that Ernest Hemingway identifies himself with Nick. Hemingway’s father was also a doctor, so he had a lot of experiences, maybe familiar to the one we hear about in the story. It is seen that Nick appears a lot in Ernest Hemingway’s stories. In every story Nick grows older and the title’s complexity also grows. We see Nick in different situations from different perspectives in every story. When I compare the introduction to the ending, I’m thinking about the change that Nick goes through. For instance, on the way to the camp in the boat, Nick is sitting in his father's arms. On the way back, Nick sits on the opposite end of the boat. The fact that Nick sits across from his father in the boat on...

...“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” – Joe from “The Princess Diaries” (and Eleanor Roosevelt) I have been spending seven weeks at Camp Tevya each summer since the summer before eighth grade. My mom had gotten a job as the Head of Arts and Crafts, and she brought my sisters and me with her to camp. I have never been one of those people who are always loud and bouncing around with all seventy of their friends, so it was a bit of culture shock going to camp for the first time. Everybody was very outgoing and always surrounded by their friends. I had a very hard time fitting in and adapting to the overly extroverted environment. This was doubly hard for me as a camper because I was forced to spend my entire day with the same 21 girls, all of whom had already been friends for at least three years....

...4-6-year-old girls cared deeply about this wedding. Despite the absence of a reason for celebration, I pulled all the girls into the circle and we started dancing and clapping to the music. The energy that went into the preparation on previous days could finally be appreciated. My campers and I not only celebrated the accomplishment of the mock wedding, we celebrated the fun and excitement we experienced for the first three weeks in Camp Glitter Girls. I had begun preparing for Camp Glitter Girls over four months before by budgeting, sending out fliers, confirming registration and finally making sure that every camper would have the time of her life. As I danced, I celebrated the times I almost lost my patience but didn't, the times that I planned activities late into the night because I knew that only an organized schedule would ensure the success of my camp. The lessons I had learned from previous summer camps contributed greatly to this camp's success. At the age of thirteen, I first ran a camp for eight children. The next year a friend and I co-managed a camp for twenty children at a...

...doctor takes his young son, Nick, and his brother, George, to the American Indian camp on the other side of a northern Michigan lake. There, the doctor performs impromptu, improvised cesarean with a fishing knife, catgut, and no anesthetic to deliver the baby. Afterward, he discovers that the woman's husband, who was in the bunk above hers, silently cut his throat during the painful ordeal. Analysis This story is a good example of the "initiation story," a short story that centers around a main character who comes into contact with an idea, experience, ritual, or knowledge that he did not previously know. Hemingway wrote a number of initiation stories, or as they are sometimes referred to, "rite of passage" stories, and the main character in most of these stories is Nick Adams, a young man much like Hemingway himself. In this story, Nick Adams is a very young boy in the Michigan north woods, accompanying his father, Dr. Adams, and his uncle George to an American Indian camp on the other side of a lake. Hemingway's own father was a doctor, who spent much time with his son in the northern woods of Michigan (most critics read this story as somewhat autobiographical). Here, a very young Nick is initiated into concepts that remained of highest importance to Hemingway throughout his writing career: life and death; suffering, pain, and endurance; and suicide. Nick's father goes to the American Indian camp to help a young American Indian woman who has been screaming because of severe...

...concentration camps and America had Japanese internment camps. Concentration camps were work camps for the people in Germany who were deemed impure, these people often died of disease, starvation, or cyanide gas. Internment camps were plots of land guarded by layers of barbed wire fences, that the Japanese people were put into with no resources. Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps were essentially the same because both the Jews and the Japanese lost their rights as citizens, in both camps people were dehumanized, and in the two camps were used to jail those who opposed or threatened their governments. Both the Jews and the Japanese lost their rights as citizens of their countries. First in Japanese internment camps the people were classified as non-alien enemies. The loyal Japanese citizens couldn’t even be called citizens anymore but were classified as non-alien enemies. Second before the concentration camps in Germany, the Jewish people were stripped of their rights to everything, their homes, their businesses, and going to...

...Concentration camps in the Nazi regime * in the years of the Nazi regime there were between 400 and 1200 camps → not all death camps * before the war really began the camps were built for political prisoners of Hitler´s reign * the two main kinds of camps were: * the concentration-/work camps in which the prisoners had to do very exhausting jobs until they were too weak to work or died * the death camps where people simply were killed, mostly by gasification → in both kinds of camps there were big violations against human rights * the German industry also benefitted from the work camps because the prisoners sometimes also made things for firms * between 1933 and 1945 about 3.5 million Germans had to spend their time in a concentration camp * most of the camps were built in Poland because most of the Jews lived there and it wasn´t too far away from the eastern battlefields so it was logistically easier to transport Jews and POWs (which means Prisoners Of War) * the camp leaders decided to mark the different type of prisoners * political prisoners got red bandages; criminals got green; homosexual men pink; purple was for Jehovahs witnesses and of course yellow for Jews * the transport of the prisoners also was very dangerous for them, because in summer it was burning hot inside the small boxcars they were transported in and in winter it was freezing cold so many didn`t even reach the camp * the first camps were liberated...
