Research Paper: Indian Camp(Introduction)

Today I started on my research paper. I had decided to study Ernest Hemingway's'Indian Camp'. it was the first time i read the story. Though very short in length, the short story is very interesting. It shows a lot of social injustice which results from racial prejudice. I was also amazed that the main character-Nick Adams bears a strong resemblance to Ernest Hemingway. Like what has been shown in the short story, the author's father was a doctor. Everything in the story is vivid to me particularly the plight of the oppressed Indians. The story begins with the arrival of Nick, Mr. Adams and his uncle to a logging camp. The camp belongs to his uncle by the name of Sam. The reason why they come to the place is to delivery the baby of an Indian woman whose husband is one of Uncle Sam's employers. When Nick is there with his father and uncle, he is very surprised with their bad treatment of the woman. Their actions totally justify that they show contempt to the Indian race. For example, Nick's father is cold towards the screaming woman by telling Nick that her pain is 'nothing'. Uncle Sam also scolds the poor woman with unrespectful harsh words. They never care a singlr soul about the Indian's plight. the father is particularly cold-hearted in this respect. He is totally oblivious to the woman's self-injuring husband. If he is a good doctor, he will offer help to treat his wounds but he prefers not to.
There is something strange about the husband. His reaction towards his wife is not that of an expecting father. Instead, he appears more like a hurt animal without dignity. The truth all reveals to me when Uncle Sam keeps sitting by the side of the woman while waiting for the baby to deliver. He is waiting for the woman to deliver his son! To me, it is very demoralising to have an affair with your employee's wife. However, no one seems to be blaming him. The worst part of the story is the part when the main character's father performs a caesarian on the woman without any drug. This further shows how unconcerned the doctor towards the woman. At the end of the story, the baby is finally delivered but the Indian man has committed suicide. Feeling shocked and angry towards the situation, Nick tells himself that he will never die and it occurs to me that he is referring to his conscience-if he ever sees the same situation again, he will try to offer help regardless of racial differences.
After reading the story, I decided to present my research paper on " Concern for human welfare should transcend racial differences'
