Analysis of Indian Camp
Indian Camp

1. b
Indian Camp is about a doctor who takes his son Nick with to an Indian Camp, where the doctor shall help an Indian woman who had been trying to have her baby for two days.
The doctor opera the Indian woman with some help from his son, a man called Uncle George and three Indian men.
When the baby was out and the doctor had finished his work, he would see to the proud father of the baby. When the doctor sees the father, he was dead. He had commit suicide.
The doctor take his son Nick with him back again, because there nothing more he could do.

2. b
Through the story, Nick develops himself. He goes from sitting in the arms of his father on the way to the Indian Camp, to sitting at the opposite end of his father.
He stands and follows in the Indian woman’s birth + he sees the Indian father who committed suicide. He is a strong boy who follows his father and experiencing some things that he maybe never thought he would. Finally, Nick is also very curious, for he asks his father many questions about the Indian woman, the Indian father and Uncle George.

3. b
About Uncle George, he seems like a bad man. He seems very self-centred in a way, when you read the text. You get the impression that he would be the type who decided over the Indians and he rewards the Indians with cigar while doing what he says.
I also believe he is the real father of the baby, as the Indian woman biting him in the arm, because they seems to have a friendly relationship. It is perhaps one of the reasons that the Indian father committed suicide. He could not bear to think that it was Uncle George's child.

4. b
Why do some choose abortion?

Since 1981, the number of abortions are decline. But why exactly? Could it be because of the change of the law? Or because young people in the modern times prioritise education rather than establishing their own family?
There are so many reasons why women get an abortion. Some cannot be able to raising a child.

    Nick changes his perspective and overcomes his preoccupation with death. Nick uses his camera as a barrier between him and the death and suffering in the world. He then views the images he took on the computer screen, of poverty, disease, terrorism, further alienating him from reality. However when he is diagnosed with cancer he changes this view, now that death and suffering applies to himself. Nick sees his life 'flash before his eyes.' As his fears begin to take over him, he starts ‘seeing death everywhere this weekend’. Flashbacks are used to show us his father who died of the same disease. His fear of death is triggered by the painful death of his father. Nick is mortified that his future, like a train track, will end there as well. However, an insightful conversation with his mother helps him realise that “it doesn't matter how life ends it matters how it was.” Nick makes the decision to fight the cancer as he races the freight train as though metaphorically challenging death.

    Weighing the consequences of abortion and analyzing whether it is acceptable is a right that some women have but most women abuse. Some young women that become pregnant in high school or college abort their babies because they want their freedom before they are tied down by children. Terminating the life of an unborn child is something that should be taken more seriously. Some women treat having a child as a task or burden; although caring for a child is not easy, the burden of taking the life of a baby is far more heart wrenching. Abortion is a life changing procedure that takes the life of an unwanted baby. From a statistical point of view, abortions caused by health problems, rape, and incest with involuntary pregnancy make up only 7 percent of all performed abortions. Social and personal problems are the remaining causes of women undergoing an abortion.…
