}} Adair compares the story lines of "Indian Camp" and "Big Two-Hearted River.” Hemingway also witnessed a woman giving birth, where the husband was present, the birth was performed in a raw setting, and a terrified child was present. In “Indian Camp” Nick is just a boy, where in “River” he is an adult who just returned from war. The stories share a similar structure. Nick wonders at the end of the story if death was difficult, much as Hemmingway contemplated suicide.

}} “Indian Camp,” described as one of the best in the collection, dramatizes what appears to be Adams' first confrontation with profound personal suffering. In Our Time, Hemingway explores men's responses. Human and animal suffering, and especially women's suffering, affect their characters. The child who cannot separate cannot see another suffering and replaces attentive love with fantasy. Nick never has the chance to learn how to reciprocate, to see his mother’s suffering in a way that would have made her feel compassion for him.
