Text 3 (Questions 13--20 are based on the following text. ) (30 points)Here is an abridged short story, Indian Camp, written by Ernest Hemingway. Read it and answer Questions 13 20 that follow.Please note: This reading task will be relevant to the writing task in Paper Two.Indian CampBy Ernest HemingwayAt the lake shore there was another rowboat drawn up. The two Indians stood waiting. Nick and his father got in the stern(船尾部) of the boat and the Indians shoved it off and one of them got in to row. Uncle George sat in the stern of the camp rowboat. The young Indian shoved the camp boat off and got in to row Uncle George."Where are we going, Dad?" Nick asked."Over to the Indian camp. There is an Indian lady very sick. ""Oh," said Nick.Across the bay they found another boat beached. Uncle George was smoking a cigar in the dark. The other Indian pulled the boat way up on the beach. Uncle George gave both the Indians cigars.They walked up from the beach through a meadow that was soaking wet with dew andfollowed a logging trail ... They came round a bend and a dog came out barking. Ahead were the lights of the huts of the Indian bark peelers. In the doorway of one of the huts an old woman stood iii the doorway holding a lamp.Inside on a wooden bunk lay a young Indian woman. She had been trying to have her baby for two days. All the old women in the camp had been trying to help her. She screamed just as Nick and the two Indians followed his father and Uncle George into the hut. She lay in the lower bunk, very big under a quilt. Her head was turned Io one side. In the upper bunk was her husband. He had cut his foot very badly with an ax three days before. He was smoking a pipe and the room smelt very had."This lady is going lo have a baby, Nick," he said.(1) "l know", said Nick."You don"t know," said his lather. "Listen to me. What she is through is called being in labor. The baby wants to be born and she wants it to be born. All her muscles are trying to gel the baby born. That is what is happening when she screams.""I see," Nick said.(2) Just then the woman screamed."Oh, Daddy, can"t you give her something to make her stop screaming?" asked Nick. "No. I haven"t any anesthetic," his father said. "But her screams are not important.I don’t hear them because they are not important."The husband in the upper bunk rolled over against the wall.The woman in the kitchen motioned to the doctor that the water was hot. "Those must boil," he said, and began to scrub his hands preparing for the delivery of the baby. When he had made himself ready, he re-entered and went to work."Pull back that quilt, will you George?" be said. "I"d rather not touch it."Later when he started to operate Uncle George and the three Indian men held the woman still. She bit Uncle George on the arm and Uncle George said, "Damn squaw bitch!" and the young Indian who had rowed Uncle George Over laughed at him. Nick held the basin for his lather. It all took a long time.His father picked the baby up and slapped it on the bottom to make it breathe and handed it to the old woman."See, it"s a boy, Nick," he said. "How do you like being a doctor"s assistant?"Nick said, "All right." He was looking away so as not to see what his father was doing. "Now," his father said, "there"s some stitches to put in. You can watch this or not, Nick, just as you like. I"m going to sew up the incision I made. "Nick did not watch. His curiosity had long since gone. His father finished and stood up, looked at the woman who seemed so pale and then said, "I"ll be back in the morning to seehow she is, the nurse from town should be here by then.""That"s one for the medical journal, George," he said. "Doing a caesaerian with a jack knife(折叠刀) and tying it up with three metres of nylon fishing line."Uncle George was standing against the wail, looking at his arm."Oh, you"re a great man, all right." he said."Ought to have a look at the proud father. They’re usually the worst sufferers in these little affairs," the doctor said. "I must say he took it all very quietly."He pulled back the blanket from the Indian"s head. His hand came away wet. He mounted the edge of the lower bunk with the lamp in one hand and looked in. The Indian lay with his face towards the wall. His throat had been cat from ear to ear. The blood bad flowed down into a pool where his body sagged the hunk. His head rested on his left arm. The open razor lay, edge up, in the blankets."Take Nick out of the hut, George," the doctor said.There was no need of that. Nick, standing in the door of the kitchen, had a good view of the upper bank when his father, the lamp in hand, tipped the Indian"s head back.It was just beginning to be daylight when they walked along the track leading to the lake."Urn terribly sorry I brought you along, Nickie," said his father, all his post operative exhilaration gone. "It was an awful mess to put you through.""Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies?" Nick asked."No, that was very, very exceptional.""Why did he kill himself, Daddy?""I don"t know, Nick. He couldn"t stand things, I guess.""Do many men kill themselves, Daddy?""Not very many, Nick.""Do many women?""Hardly ever. ""Don"t they ever?""Oh, yes. They do sometimes.""Daddy?""Yes.""Where did Uncle George go?""Hell turn up all right."(3) "Is dying hard, Daddy?""No, I think it"s pretty easy, Nick. it alt depends."They were seated in the boat, Nick in the stern, his father rowing. The sun was coming up over the hills. A bass (fish) jumped, making a circle in the water. Nick trailed his hang in the water. It felt warm in the sharp chill of the morning.In the early morning on the lake sitting in the stern of the boat with his father rowing, he felt quite sure that he would never die.Questions on Text 313.

The young Indian shoved the camp boat off and got in to row Uncle George."Where are we going, Dad?" Nick asked."Over to the Indian camp. There is an Indian lady very sick. ""Oh," said Nick.Across the bay they found another boat beached. Uncle George was smoking a cigar in the dark. The other Indian pulled the boat way up on the beach. Uncle George gave both the Indians cigars.They walked up from the beach through a meadow that was soaking wet with dew and followed a logging trail ... They came round a bend and a dog came out barking. Ahead were the lights of the huts of the Indian bark peelers. In the doorway of one of the huts an old woman stood iii the doorway holding a lamp.Inside on a wooden bunk lay a young Indian woman. She had been trying to have her baby for two days. All the old women in the camp had been trying to help her. She screamed just as Nick and the two Indians followed his father and Uncle George into the hut. She lay in the lower bunk, very big under a quilt. Her head was turned Io one side. In the upper bunk was her husband. He had cut his foot very badly with an ax three days before. He wassmoking a pipe and the room smelt very had."This lady is going lo have a baby, Nick," he said.(1) "l know", said Nick."Y ou don"t know," said his lather. "Listen to me. What she is through is called being in labor. The baby wants to be born and she wants it to be born. All her muscles are trying to gel the baby born. That is what is happening when she screams.""I see," Nick said.(2) Just then the woman screamed."Oh, Daddy, can"t you give her something to make her stop screaming?" asked Nick."No. I haven"t any anesthetic," his father said. "But her screams are not important. I don’t hear them because they are not important."The husband in the upper bunk rolled over against the wall.The woman in the kitchen motioned to the doctor that the water was hot. "Those must boil," he said, and began to scrub his hands preparing for the delivery of the baby. When he had made himself ready, he re-entered and went to work."Pull back that quilt, will you George?" be said. "I"d rather not touch it."Later when he started to operate Uncle George and the three Indian men held the woman still. She bit Uncle George on the arm and Uncle George said, "Damn squaw bitch!" and the young Indian who had rowed Uncle George Over laughed at him. Nick held the basin for his lather. It all took a long time.His father picked the baby up and slapped it on the bottom to make it breathe and handed it to the old woman."See, it"s a boy, Nick," he said. "How do you like being a doctor"s assistant?"Nick said, "All right." He was looking away so as not to see what his father was doing."Now," his father said, "there"s some stitches to put in. Y ou can watch this or not,Nick, just as you like. I"m going to sew up the incision I made. "Nick did not watch. His curiosity had long since gone. His father finished and stood up, looked at the woman who seemed so pale and then said, "I"ll be back in the morning to seehow she is, the nurse from town should be here by then.""That"s one for the medical journal, George," he said. "Doing a caesaerian with a jack knife(折叠刀) and tying it up withthree metres of nylon fishing line."Uncle George was standing against the wail, looking at his arm."Oh, you"re a great man, all right." he said."Ought to have a look at the proud father. They’re usually the wors t sufferers in these little affairs," the doctor said. "I must say he took it all very quietly."He pulled back the blanket from the Indian"s head. His hand came away wet. He mounted the edge of the lower bunk with the lamp in one hand and looked in. The Indian lay with his face towards the wall. His throat had been cat from ear to ear. The blood bad flowed down into a pool where his body sagged the hunk. His head rested on his left arm. The open razor lay, edge up, in the blankets."Take Nick out of the hut, George," the doctor said.There was no need of that. Nick, standing in the door of the kitchen, had a good view of the upper bank when his father, the lamp in hand, tipped the Indian"s head back.It was just beginning to be daylight when they walked along the track leading to the lake."Urn terribly sorry I brought you along, Nickie," said his father, all his post operative exhilaration gone. "It was an awful mess to put you through.""Do ladies always have such a hard time having babies?" Nick asked."No, that was very, very exceptional.""Why did he kill himself, Daddy?""I don"t know, Nick. He couldn"t stand things, I guess.""Do many men kill themselves, Daddy?""Not very many, Nick.""Do many women?""Hardly ever. ""Don"t they ever?""Oh, yes. They do sometimes.""Daddy?""Y es.""Where did Uncle George go?""Hell turn up all right."(3) "Is dying hard, Daddy?""No, I think it"s pretty easy, Nick. it alt depends."They were seated in the boat, Nick in the stern, his father rowing.

She can’t give birth to her baby naturally. So Nick watches his father deliv er an Indian woman of a baby by Caesarian Section. It is a merciless scene to such a young boy, especially without any anesthetic. The wom an’s scremed and pain both influent litter Nick. Ironic, the baby’s father is found kill himself at last. It is anothe r upsurge of this story.During the story, Hemingway doesn’t describe the pain of this lady, but mention the action of other people, such as the husba nd and the men in village. From other people’s emotion, you can image how terrible the scream is.Hem ingway’s style is simple on the surface. Interestingly, it is with this simple style that Hemingway effectively conveys some intense and complex emotions, just like his “tip of iceberg”. These feelings often seem negative.In the story of Indian camp, also a reflection of his style, the heavy topic of “death” is presented through the view of a litter child. It makes the “death” have another color of mystery. Hemingway’s view of death is present through the ending of Indian Camp.This story just about the experience of one night, but include some information what author want to show. Each time you read, you can find something new.I think a good fiction should consist of some parts: beautiful content, language, plot and structure. What’s more important is the standpoint. In other word is the sense of worth. It is the starting point of a fiction.。

No card or note came with it. Calls to the florist were always in vain -- it was a cash purchase. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender‟s identity and just delighted in the beauty and heady perfume of that one magical, perfect flower nestled in soft pick tissue paper.Some of the happiest moments were spent But I never stopped imagining who the anonymous giver might be. daydreaming about someone wonderful and exciting but too shy or eccentric to make known his or her identity.My mother contributed to these imaginings. She‟d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special t be showing appreciation. Perhaps the neighbor I‟d helped when she was unloading a car full kindness who migh t be showing appreciation. Perhaps the neighbor I‟d helped when she was unloading a car full of groceries. Or maybe it was the old man across the street whose mail I retrieved during the winter so he wouldn't have to venture down his icy steps. As a teen-ager, though, I had more fun speculating that it might be a boy I had a crush on or one who had noticed me even though I didn't know him.When I was 17, a boy broke my heart. The night he called for the last time, I cried myself to sleep. When I awoke in the morning, there was a message scribbled on my mirror in red lipstick: Heartily know, when half-gods go, the gods arrive. I thought about that quotation by Emerson for a long time, and until my heart healed, I left it where my mother had written it. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again.I don‟t remember ever slamming my door in anger at her and shouting, “you just don‟t understand!” because she did understand.One month before my high-school graduation, my father died of a heart attack. My feelings ranged from grief to abandonment, fear and overwhelming anger that my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life. I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation, the senior class play and the prom. But my mother, in the midst of her own grief, would not hear of my skipping any of those things.The day before my father died, my mother and I had gone shopping for a prom dress. We found a spectacular one, swiss in red, white and blue, it made me feel like Scarlet O‟Hara, but it was the with yards and yards of doted wrong size. When my father died I forgot about the dress. -- in the right size -- draped majestically over the My mother didn‟t. The day before the prom, I found that dress -- beautifully, artistically, living room sofa. It wasn‟t just delivered, still in the box. It was presented to me lovingly. I didn‟t care if I had a new dress or no. But my mother did.She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable, creative and imaginative, imbued with a sense that there was magic in the world and beauty even in the face of adversity. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia -- lovely, strong, and perfect -- with an aura of magic and perhaps a bit of mystery.

She felt sad, disappointed that her father would not experience the important events in her life. to encourage kindness in her daughter: to send flowers 24．a. The mother‟s wisdom: She thought of a wise way secretly; or she wisely scribbled a quotation from Emerson on her daughter‟s mirror instead of directly talking her teenage daughter into accepting the loss of her boyfriend. b. Her strength in the face of adversities: she stood strong when her husband died.25. The gardenia is the essential symbol in the story, helping to bring about the theme of the story: mother‟s love. The gardenia symbolizes the qualities that the mother hoped for her daughter, qualities such as magical (aura of magic, a bit of mystery), loving, strong, perfect , etc. (Points should be given when ideas are similar or stand to reason.)Part III Writing [20 Points]。
