"I want to go with you," Nick said. ". . . I know where there's black squirrels." "All right," said his father. "Let's go there." These last lines from the chapter, "The Doctor and the Doctor's wife" from, In Our Time, show how Hemingway's struggling relationship with both parents was a struggle for him to choose between his mother with music, or his father with fishing and hunting. (Baker, p.29) In the novel of, In Our Time, Hemingway creates the character of Nick Adams in order to depict himself. Nick's youth is wild and free, just as Hemingway himself lived and led a life of a vagrant, coming face to face with violence and evil on the road. Nick Adams spends his summers in Michigan among the Indians, where he sees life in the raw. Just as Nick sees life in the raw so to does Hemingway. Ernest Hemingway loving neither his family nor school ran away twice from home. He led a life of a vagrant where he worked on farms, washed dishes in restaurants, and hopped on freight trains. Nick who is in fact the reflection of Hemingway witnesses a doctor-father perform a Caesarian operation with a jack knife. Nick sees an Indian girl with brown legs, flat belly, and hard little breasts, which initiates him sexually at a very young age. Nick also cuts a freshly caught trout into pieces and uses the chunks as bait to catch more trout. He is living in a savage world of sacrificed animals. These are the years of apprenticeship for a boy who wants to be strong yet has weaknesses, which is specifically an equivocal attitude toward his father. Nick who is a portrayal of Hemingway is grateful to the doctor for the rifle and hunting lessons, but he resents his father's weaknesses toward his mother and his conventional ideas about sex. (Waldmeir, p.66) Hemingway in his writing uses a particular hard style to tell hard stories. He depicts characters in his stories such as bloodied prize fighters, hired killers, disemboweled bull fighters, crippled soldiers, hunters of wild animals, and deep sea fisherman.
