Эрнест Хемингуэй. Ожидание (читать онлайн)

Мы еще лежали в постели, когда он вошел в комнату затворить окна, и я сразу увидел, что ему нездоровится. Его трясло, лицо у него было бледное, и шел он медленно, как будто каждое движение причиняло ему боль.

Что с тобой, Малыш?

У меня голова болит.

Поди ляг в постель.

Нет, я здоров.

Ляг в постель. Я оденусь и приду к тебе.

Но когда я сошел вниз, мой девятилетний мальчуган, уже одевшись, сидел у камина - совсем больной и жалкий. Я приложил ладонь ему ко лбу и почувствовал, что у него жар.

Ложись в постель, - сказал я, - ты болен.

Я здоров, - сказал он.

Пришел доктор и смерил мальчику температуру.

Сколько? - спросил я.

Сто два.

Внизу доктор дал мне три разных лекарства в облатках разных цветов и сказал, как принимать их. Одно было жаропонижающее, другое слабительное, третье против кислотности. Бациллы инфлуэнцы могут существовать только в кислой среде, пояснил доктор. По-видимому, в его практике инфлуэнца была делом самым обычным, и он сказал, что беспокоиться нечего, лишь бы температура не поднялась выше ста четырех. Эпидемия сейчас не сильная, ничего серьезного нет, надо только уберечь мальчика от воспаления легких.

Вернувшись в детскую, я записал температуру и часы, когда какую облатку принимать.

Хорошо. Если хочешь, - сказал мальчик. Лицо у него было очень бледное, под глазами темные круги. Он лежал неподвижно и был безучастен ко всему, что делалось вокруг него.

Как ты себя чувствуешь, Малыш? - спросил я.

Пока все так же, - сказал он.

Почему ты не попробуешь заснуть? Я разбужу тебя, когда надо будет принять лекарство.

Нет, я лучше так полежу.

Через несколько минут он сказал мне:

Папа, если тебе неприятно, ты лучше уйди.

Откуда ты взял, что мне неприятно?

Ну, если потом будет неприятно, так ты уйди отсюда.

Я решил, что у него начинается легкий бред, и, дав ему в одиннадцать часов лекарство, вышел из комнаты.

День стоял ясный, холодный; талый снег, выпавший накануне, успел подмерзнуть за ночь, и теперь голые деревья, кусты, валежник, трава и плеши голой земли были подернуты ледяной корочкой, точно тонким слоем лака. Я взял с собой молодого ирландского сеттера и пошел прогуляться по дороге и вдоль замерзшей речки, но на гладкой, как стекло, земле не то что ходить, а и стоять было трудно; мой рыжий пес скользил, лапы у него разъезжались, и я сам растянулся два раза, да еще уронил ружье, и оно отлетело по льду в сторону.

Из-под высокого глинистого берега с нависшими над речкой кустами мы спугнули стаю куропаток, и я подстрелил двух в ту минуту, когда они скрывались из виду за береговым откосом. Часть стаи опустилась на деревья, но большинство куропаток попряталось, и, для того чтобы снова поднять их, мне пришлось несколько раз подпрыгнуть на кучах обледенелого валежника. Стоя на скользких, пружинивших сучьях, стрелять по взлетавшим куропаткам было трудно, и я убил двух, по пятерым промазал и отправился в обратный путь, довольный, что набрел на стаю около самого дома, радуясь, что куропаток хватит и на следующую охоту.

Дома мне сказали, что мальчик никому не позволяет входить в детскую.

Не входите, - говорил он. - Я не хочу, чтобы вы заразились.

Я вошел к нему и увидел, что он лежит все в том же положении, такой же бледный, только скулы порозовели от жара, и по-прежнему, не отрываясь, молча смотрит на спинку кровати.

Я смерил ему температуру.

Сколько?

Около ста градусов, - ответил я. Термометр показывал сто два и четыре десятых.

Раньше было сто два? - спросил он.

Кто это тебе сказал?

Температура у тебя не высокая, - сказал я. - Беспокоиться нечего.

Я не беспокоюсь, - сказал он, - только не могу перестать думать.

А ты не думай, - сказал я. - Не надо волноваться.

Я не волнуюсь, - сказал он, глядя прямо перед собой. Видно было, что он напрягает все силы, чтобы сосредоточиться на какой-то мысли.

Прими лекарство и запей водой.

Ты думаешь, это поможет?

Конечно, поможет.

Я сел около кровати, открыл книгу про пиратов и начал читать, но увидел, что он не слушает меня, и остановился.

Как по-твоему, через сколько часов я умру? - спросил он.

Сколько мне еще осталось жить?

Ты не умрешь. Что за глупости!

Нет, я умру. Я слышал, как он сказал сто два градуса.

Никто не умирает от температуры в сто два градуса. Что ты выдумываешь?

Нет, умирают, я знаю. Во Франции мальчики в школе говорили, когда температура сорок четыре градуса, человек умирает. А у меня сто два.

Он ждал смерти весь день; ждал ее с девяти часов утра.

Бедный Малыш, - сказал я. - Бедный мой Малыш. Это все равно как мили и километры. Ты не умрешь. Это просто другой термометр. На том термометре нормальная температура тридцать семь градусов. На этом девяносто восемь.

Ты это наверное знаешь?

Ну конечно, - сказал я. - Это все равно как мили и километры. Помнишь? Если машина прошла семьдесят миль, сколько это километров?

А, - сказал он.

Но пристальность его взгляда, устремленного на спинку кровати, долго не ослабевала. Напряжение, в котором он держал себя, тоже спало не сразу, зато на следующий день он совсем раскис и то и дело принимался плакать из-за всякого пустяка.

Эрнест Хемингуэй. Ожидание. 1933 г.

Hemingway, Ernest (1899-1961): a prominent American novelist and short-story writer. He began to write fiction about 1923, his first books being the reflection of his war experience. "The Sun Also Rises" (1926) belongs to this period as well as "A Farewell to Arms" (1929) in which the antiwar protest is particularly powerful.

During the Civil War Hemingway visited Spain as a war correspondent. His impressions of the period and his sympathies with the Republicans found reflection in his famous play "The Fifth Column" (1937), the novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1940) and a number of short stories.

His later works are "Across the River and into the Trees" (1950) and "The Old Man and the Sea" (1952) and the very last novel "Islands in the Stream" (1970) published after the author"s death. In 1954 he was awarded a Nobel Prize for literature.

Hemingway"s manner is characterized by deep psychological insight into the human nature. He early established himself as the master of a new style: laconic and somewhat dry.

He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill. He was shivering, his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ached to move. "What"s the matter, Schatz?"

"I"ve got a headache."

"You"d better go back to bed."

"No, I"m all right."

"You go to bed. I"ll see you when I"m dressed."

But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.

"You go up to bed," I said, "you"re sick."

"I"m all right," he said.

When the doctor came he took the boy"s temperature.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"One hundred and two."

Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative, the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia.

Back in the room I wrote the boy"s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.

"Do you want me to read to you?"

"All right, if you want to," said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached from what was going on.


I read aloud from Howard Pyle"s Book of Pirates, but I could see he was not following what I was reading.

"How do you feel, Schatz?" I asked him.

"Just the same, so far," he said.

I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule. It would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed, looking very strangely.

"Why don"t you try to go to sleep? I"ll wake you up for the medicine."

"I"d rather stay awake."

After a while he said to me, "You don"t have to stay in here with me, Papa, if it bothers you."

"It doesn"t bother me."

"No, I mean you don"t have to stay if it"s going to bother you."

I thought perhaps he was a little light-headed and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven o"clock I went out for a while.

It was a bright, cold day, the ground covered with a sleet that had frozen so that it seemed as if all the bare trees, the bushes, the cut brush and all the grass and the bare ground had been varnished with ice. I took the young Irish setter for a little walk up the road and along a frozen creek.

At the house they said the boy had refused to let any one come into the room.

"You can"t come in," he said. "You mustn"t get what I have." I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.

I took his temperature.

"Something like a hundred," I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.

"It was a hundred and two," he said.

"Your temperature is all right," I said. "It"s nothing to worry about."

"I don"t worry," he said, "but I can"t keep from thinking."

"Don"t think," I said. "Just take it easy."

"I"m taking it easy," he said and looked worried about something.

"Take this with water."

"Do you think it will do any good?"

"Of course, it will,"

I sat down and opened the Pirate Book and commenced to read but I could see he was not following, so I stopped.

"About what time do you think I"m going to die?" he asked.

"About how long will it be before I die?"

"You aren"t going to die. What"s the matter with you?"

"Oh, yes, I am. I heard him say a hundred and two."

"People don"t die with a fever of one hundred and two. That"s a silly way to talk!"

"I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you can"t live with forty-four degrees. I"ve got a hundred and two."

He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o"clock in the morning.

"You poor Schatz," I said. "Poor old Schatz, it"s like miles and kilometers. You aren"t going to die. That"s a diflerent thermometer. On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. On this kind it"s ninety-eight."

"Absolutely," I said. "It"s like miles and kilometers. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car?"

But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly. The hold over himself relaxed too, finally, and the next day it was very slack and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

^ NOTES ON STYLE

A. The terms style, stylistic are generally used in two different meanings. In lexicology the term functional style is used which may be defined as a system of expressive means peculiar to a specific sphere of communication. Otherwise speaking, the choice of words and of modes of expression depends on the situation in which the process of communication is realized, whether it is a friendly talk, an official letter or report, a poem, a scientific article, etc. According to the situation (or the sphere of communication) we may distinguish formal (bookish, learned) and informal (colloquial) words. The former are peculiar to fiction, scientific prose, lectures, official talks; the latter are used in everyday talks with friends and relatives. One should also keep ip mind that there are a great number of words that are independent of the sphere of communication, i. e. that can be used in a lecture, in an informal talk, in a poem, etc. Such words are stylistically neutral (е.g. bread, word, book, go, takes, white, etc.).

Students should be warned against taking the term colloquial as a kind of encouragement to use words thus marked as much as possible. The term implies that the words called colloquial are limited by their sphere of usage and, if used in a wrong situation (е.g. in a student"s composition, in a conversation with an official acquaintance or with one higher in authority), may produce the impression of impoliteness or even rudeness.

^ E. g. He is a jolly chap. = Он парень что надо, (chap n , coll.; jolly adj, coll.) The stylistically neutral way of putting it is: He is a good (fine) man.

How are the kids? = Как ваши ребята? (kid n , coll.) The stylistically neutral way How are your children?

I"m all right. = Co мной все нормально. (all right coll.) The stylistically neutral way I feel (am) quite well.

Compare:

Neutral Colloquial Bookish

begin start commence

continue go on proceed

end, finish be over (through) terminate

buy get purchase

Note also that such abbreviations as ^ I"m, I"ve, I"ll, you"d, you"re, etc. are characteristic of colloquial style. Therefore, students will be well advised to avoid them in their compositions, essays, precis, etc.

B. The term style may be also used with reference to the manner of writing of some particular author. E. g. Hemingway"s style is characterized by laconism and lack of detail. The syntax of his sentences is very simple, the dialogues are almost monosyllabic and seemingly unemotional. Yet, through the austere form the author manages sometimes to create a narration of great tension.

Пришел врач и сказал, что у ребенка воспаление легких, но серьезной опасности пока нет. Он спросил, когда мальчик заболел. Мать вспомнила, что еще со вторника он все время говорил, что у него болит голова и ломит все тело.

«Не волнуйтесь. Все будет хорошо, - сказал врач, - но вам бы следовало отвезти ребенка в больницу».

«Я лучше сама присмотрю за ним», - сказала мать.

«Что же, - сказал врач, - не буду настаивать. Не нужно расстраиваться. Если вы будете точно следовать моим указаниям, я уверен, что через несколько дней ему будет лучше».

A DAY"S WAIT by Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway, Ernest (1899-1961): a prominent American novelist and short-story writer. He began to write fiction about 1923, his first books being the reflection of his war experience. "The Sun Also Rises" (1926) belongs to this period as well as "A Farewell to Arms" (1929) in which the antiwar protest is particularly powerful.
During the Civil War Hemingway visited Spain as a war correspondent. His impressions of the period and his sympathies with the Republicans found reflection in his famous play "The Fifth Column" (1937), the novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1940) and a number of short stories.
His later works are "Across the River and into the Trees" (1950) and "The Old Man and the Sea" (1952) and the very last novel "Islands in the Stream" (1970) published after the author"s death. In 1954 he was awarded a Nobel Prize for literature.
Hemingway"s manner is characterized by deep psychological insight into the human nature. He early established himself as the master of a new style: laconic and somewhat dry.
He came into the room to shut the windows while we were still in bed and I saw he looked ill. He was shivering, his face was white, and he walked slowly as though it ached to move. "What"s the matter, Schatz?"
"I"ve got a headache."
"You"d better go back to bed."
"No, I"m all right."
"You go to bed. I"ll see you when I"m dressed."
But when I came downstairs he was dressed, sitting by the fire, looking a very sick and miserable boy of nine years. When I put my hand on his forehead I knew he had a fever.
"You go up to bed," I said, "you"re sick."
"I"m all right," he said.
When the doctor came he took the boy"s temperature.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"One hundred and two."
Downstairs, the doctor left three different medicines in different colored capsules with instructions for giving them. One was to bring down the fever, another a purgative, the third to overcome an acid condition. The germs of influenza can only exist in an acid condition, he explained. He seemed to know all about influenza and said there was nothing to worry about if the fever did not go above one hundred and four degrees. This was a light epidemic of flu and there was no danger if you avoided pneumonia.
Back in the room I wrote the boy"s temperature down and made a note of the time to give the various capsules.
"Do you want me to read to you?"
"All right, if you want to," said the boy. His face was very white and there were dark areas under his eyes. He lay still in the bed and seemed very detached from what was going on.
I read aloud from Howard Pyle"s Book of Pirates, but I could see he was not following what I was reading.
"How do you feel, Schatz?" I asked him.
"Just the same, so far," he said.
I sat at the foot of the bed and read to myself while I waited for it to be time to give another capsule. It would have been natural for him to go to sleep, but when I looked up he was looking at the foot of the bed, looking very strangely.
"Why don"t you try to go to sleep? I"ll wake you up for the medicine."
"I"d rather stay awake."
After a while he said to me, "You don"t have to stay in here with me, Papa, if it bothers you."
"It doesn"t bother me."
"No, I mean you don"t have to stay if it"s going to bother you."
I thought perhaps he was a little light-headed and after giving him the prescribed capsules at eleven o"clock I went out for a while.
It was a bright, cold day, the ground covered with a sleet that had frozen so that it seemed as if all the bare trees, the bushes, the cut brush and all the grass and the bare ground had been varnished with ice. I took the young Irish setter for a little walk up the road and along a frozen creek.
At the house they said the boy had refused to let any one come into the room.
"You can"t come in," he said. "You mustn"t get what I have." I went up to him and found him in exactly the position I had left him, white-faced, but with the tops of his cheeks flushed by the fever, staring still, as he had stared, at the foot of the bed.
I took his temperature.
"What is it?"
"Something like a hundred," I said. It was one hundred and two and four tenths.
"It was a hundred and two," he said.
"Who said so?"
"The doctor."
"Your temperature is all right," I said. "It"s nothing to worry about."
"I don"t worry," he said, "but I can"t keep from thinking."
"Don"t think," I said. "Just take it easy."
"I"m taking it easy," he said and looked worried about something.
"Take this with water."
"Do you think it will do any good?"
"Of course, it will,"
I sat down and opened the Pirate Book and commenced to read but I could see he was not following, so I stopped.
"About what time do you think I"m going to die?" he asked.
"What?"
"About how long will it be before I die?"
"You aren"t going to die. What"s the matter with you?"
"Oh, yes, I am. I heard him say a hundred and two."
"People don"t die with a fever of one hundred and two. That"s a silly way to talk!"
"I know they do. At school in France the boys told me you can"t live with forty-four degrees. I"ve got a hundred and two."
He had been waiting to die all day, ever since nine o"clock in the morning.
"You poor Schatz," I said. "Poor old Schatz, it"s like miles and kilometers. You aren"t going to die. That"s a diflerent thermometer. On that thermometer thirty-seven is normal. On this kind it"s ninety-eight."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely," I said. "It"s like miles and kilometers. You know, like how many kilometers we make when we do seventy miles in the car?"
"Oh," he said.
But his gaze at the foot of the bed relaxed slowly. The hold over himself relaxed too, finally, and the next day it was very slack and he cried very easily at little things that were of no importance.

ДЕНЬ ОЖИДАНИЯ от Эрнест ХемингуэйХемингуэй, Эрнест (1899-1961): известный американский писатель и писатель. Он начал писать фантастику около 1923, его первые книги, является отражением его опыт войны. «И восходит солнце» (1926) принадлежит этот период, а также «Прощай, оружие» (1929) в котором антивоенного протеста является особенно мощным.Во время гражданской войны Хемингуэй посетил Испанию в качестве военного корреспондента. Его впечатления от периода и его симпатии с республиканцев нашли отражение в его знаменитой пьесе «пятой колонны» (1937), Роман «по ком звонит колокол» (1940) и несколько коротких рассказов.Его более поздних работ «Через реку и в деревья» (1950) и «Старик и море» (1952) и самый последний роман «Острова в потоке» (1970), опубликованный после смерти автора. В 1954 году он был удостоен Нобелевской премии по литературе.Hemingway образом характеризуется глубокой психологической понимание человеческой природы. Он уже зарекомендовал себя как мастер нового стиля: лаконичная и немного сухой.Он пришел в комнату, чтобы закрыть окна, в то время как мы были все еще в постели, и я увидел, что он выглядел больным. Он дрожал, его лицо было белым, и он шел медленно, как будто оно болело для перемещения. «Что такое дело, Шац»?«У меня головная боль».«Вы бы лучше вернуться в постель.»«Нет, я все в порядке».«Вы идете спать. Я буду видеть вас когда я одет.»Но когда я пришел на первом этаже он был одет, сидя у камина, глядя очень больной и несчастный мальчик 9 лет. Когда я положил руку на лбу я знал, что он имел лихорадку.«Вы идете спать,» я сказал, «ты болен».«Я все в порядке»,-сказал он.Когда врач пришел он взял мальчика температуры.«Что это?» Я спросил его.«Сто два.»На первом этаже врач оставил три различных лекарственных средств в различные цветные капсулы с инструкциями для придания им. Один был сбить лихорадки, другой слабительного, третий для преодоления кислотного состояния. Микробы гриппа может существовать только в кислоты состоянии,-пояснил он. Он, казалось, чтобы знать все о гриппа и сказал, что нет ничего страшного, если лихорадка не выше сто четыре градуса. Это была легкая эпидемия гриппа, и нет никакой опасности, если вы избежать пневмонии.Обратно в комнате я написал мальчика температуру вниз и сделал к сведению время, чтобы дать различные капсулы.«Вы хотите, чтобы читать вам я?»«Все в порядке, если вы хотите,» сказал мальчик. Его лицо было очень белым и были темные области под глазами. Он лежал в постели и, казалось очень отдельно от того, что происходит.Я читал вслух от Говард Пайл книга пиратов, но я мог видеть, что он не следит за то, что я читал.«Как вы себя чувствуете, Шац?» Я спросил его.«Так же,», сказал он.Я сидел у подножия кровати и читать к себе, в то время как я ждал для того чтобы быть время, чтобы дать другую капсулу. Было бы естественным для него, чтобы идти спать, но когда я посмотрел он искал у подножия кровати, глядя очень странно.«Почему бы вам не попробовать пойти спать? Я буду разбудит вас вверх для медицины.»«Я предпочел бы остаться бодрствовать.»Через некоторое время он сказал мне, «вы не должны остаться здесь со мной, папа, если это беспокоит вас.»«Это не беспокоит меня».«Я означает, что вы не должны остаться, если это будет беспокоить вас.»Я думал, может быть, он был немного легкомысленный и после предоставления ему предписанные капсулы в одиннадцать часов я вышел на какое-то время.Это был яркий, холодный день земли покрыты с мокрым снегом, которые заморожены так, что казалось, как будто все голые деревья, кусты, вырезать кисти и все травы и голой земле были лакированное со льдом. Я взял молодой Ирландский сеттер на небольшую прогулку вверх по дороге и вдоль замороженных Крик.В доме они сказали, что мальчик отказался дать любой один приходит в комнату.«Вы не можете войти,»,-сказал он. «Вы не должны получить, что». Я подошел к нему и нашел его именно позиция, которую я оставил его, белоголовый, но с вершины его щеки, покраснел от лихорадки, глядя, как он смотрел, у подножия кровати.Я взял его температуру.«Что это?»«Что-то вроде сто,» я сказал. Это был один сто и два и четыре десятых.«Это было сто два»,-сказал он.«Кто так сказал?»«Доктор».«Ваша температура все права», я сказал. «Это не беспокоиться».«Я не волнуйтесь»,-сказал он, «но я не могу удержаться от мышления».«Не думаю»,-сказал я. «Просто принять его простым.»«Я принимаю его легко,» он сказал и посмотрел беспокоиться о чем-то.«Возьмите это с водой».«Как вы думаете, что он будет делать ничего хорошего?»«Конечно, это будет»Я сел и открыл книгу пирата и начал читать, но я мог видеть, что он не следит, поэтому я остановился.«О сколько времени вы думаете, я хочу умереть?»-спросил он.«Что?»«О том, как долго это будет прежде, чем я умереть?»«Вы не собираетесь умирать. Что это с вами?»«О, да, я. Я слышал он сказал сто два.»«Люди не умирают с лихорадкой сто два. Это глупый способ говорить!»«Я знаю, что они делают. В школе во Франции мальчики сказал мне, что вы не можете жить с сорок четыре градуса. У меня сто два.»Он ждал умирать весь день, с 9 часов утра.«Вы бедный Шац,» сказал я. «Бедные старые Шац, это как мили и километра. Вы не собираетесь умирать. Это diflerent термометра. На этот термометр тридцать семь является нормальным. На такого рода это девяносто восемь».«Вы уверены?»«Абсолютно», сказал я. «Это как мили и километра. Вы знаете, как и сколько километров мы делаем когда мы делаем 70 миль в автомобиле?»«О,» сказал он.Но его взгляд, у подножия кровати расслабленной медленно. Держать за себя расслабленным, наконец и на следующий день он был очень вяло и воскликнул он очень легко на мелочи, которые не важны.

Подожди дня Эрнест Хемингуэй
Хемингуэй, Эрнест (1899-1961): видный американский романист и новеллист писателем. Он начал писать художественную литературу о 1923, его первые книги является отражением его опыта войны. "И восходит солнце" (1926) принадлежит к этому периоду, а также "Прощай, оружие" (1929) , в котором антивоенный протест особенно мощным.
Во время войны Хемингуэй гражданской посетил Испанию в качестве военного корреспондента. Его впечатления от периода и его симпатии с республиканцами нашли отражение в его знаменитой пьесе "Пятая колонна" (1937), роман "По ком звонит колокол" (1940) и ряд рассказов.
Его поздние работы " за рекой, в тени деревьев "(1950 г.) и" старик и море "(1952) и самый последний роман" Острова в потоке »(1970) , опубликованных после смерти автора. В 1954 году он был удостоен Нобелевской премии по литературе.
Манера Хемингуэя характеризуется глубоким психологическим проникновением в человеческую природу. Он рано зарекомендовал себя как мастер нового стиля:. Лаконичной и несколько сухих
Он вошел в комнату, чтобы закрыть окна в то время как мы были все еще в постели, и я увидел, что он выглядел больным. Его трясло, лицо его было белым, и он шел медленно, как будто он жаждал двигаться. "Что случилось, Schatz?"
"У меня болит голова."
"Вы бы лучше вернуться в постель."
"Нет, я в порядке" .
"Вы ложитесь спать. Я буду видеть вас, когда Я одет. "
Но когда я спустился вниз, он был одет, сидя у костра, глядя очень больной и несчастный мальчик девяти лет. Когда я положил руку ему на лоб, я знал, что у него был жар.
"Вы идете в постель," сказал я, "ты болен."
"Я в порядке," сказал он.
Когда пришел врач, он взял температура мальчика.
"Что это?" Я спросил его.
"Сто два" . На
первом этаже, врач оставил три различные лекарства в различных цветных капсул с инструкциями для придания им. Один из них был сбить жар, другой слабительное, третий для преодоления кислотного состояния. Возбудители гриппа может существовать только в кислой состоянии, пояснил он. Казалось, он знает все о гриппе и сказал, что не было ничего, чтобы волноваться о том, если лихорадка не поднимается выше ста четырех градусов. Это была легкая эпидемия гриппа, и не было никакой опасности, если вы избежать пневмонии.
Вернувшись в комнату, я написал температуру мальчика вниз и сделал примечание времени, чтобы дать различные капсулы.
"Вы хотите меня читать вам? "
" Хорошо, если вы хотите, "сказал мальчик. Его лицо было очень белым и там были темные области под глазами. Он лежал неподвижно в постели и, казалось, очень оторваны от того, что происходит.
Я читал вслух книгу Говард Пайл в пиратов, но я видел, что он не был после того, что я читал.
"Как вы себя чувствуете, Schatz?" Я спросил его.
"То же самое, до сих пор," сказал он.
Я сидел в ногах кровати и читать про себя, пока я ждал, чтобы это было время, чтобы дать еще одну капсулу. Было бы естественно для него, чтобы идти спать, но когда я поднял голову, он смотрел на ногах кровати, выглядит очень странно.
"Почему бы вам не попробовать пойти спать? Я буду будить вас лекарство " .
" Я предпочел бы не спать. "
Через некоторое время он сказал мне:" Вы не должны остаться здесь со мной, папа, если это беспокоит вас. "
" это не беспокоит меня. "
" нет, я имею в виду вы не должны остаться, если это будет беспокоить вас. "
Я думал, что, возможно, он был немного легкомысленный и после того, как дать ему предписанные капсулы в одиннадцать часов я вышел на некоторое время.
Это был яркий, холодный день, земля покрыта мокрым снегом, что замерзла так, что казалось, будто все голые деревья, кусты, вырезать кисти и вся трава и голая земля была лакированные со льдом. Я взял молодого ирландского сеттера для небольшой прогулки вверх по дороге и вдоль замерзшего ручья.
В доме они сказали, что мальчик отказался позволить любому войти в комнату.
"Вы не можете войти," сказал он. "Вы не должны получить то, что у меня есть." Я подошел к нему и нашел его в точно положении я оставил его, бледного, но с вершинами его щеки покраснели от лихорадки, уставившись до сих пор, как он смотрел, у подножия кровати.
Я взял его температура.
"Что это?"
"Что - то вроде ста," сказал я. Это было сто два и четыре десятых.
"Это было сто два," сказал он.
"Кто так сказал?"
"Доктор" .
"Ваша температура все в порядке," сказал я. "Ничего страшного."
"Я не волнуюсь," сказал он, "но я не могу удержаться от мышления."
"Не думаю," сказал я. "Просто успокойся."
"Я легко принимая его," сказал он и выглядел взволнованным о чем - то.
"Возьми это с водой."
"Как вы думаете, он будет делать ничего хорошего?"
"Конечно, это будет"
Я сел и открыл Пиратский книгу и начал читать, но я мог видеть, что он не следовал, так что я остановился.
"О том, что время, вы думаете, что я собираюсь умереть?" спросил он.
"Что?"
"О том, как долго это будет, прежде чем я умру?"
"Вы не собираетесь умирать. Что с тобой?»
«О, да, я. Я слышал, как он говорил, сто два " .
" Люди не умирают с лихорадкой сто два. Это глупо так говорить! "
" Я знаю, что они делают. в школе во Франции ребята сказали мне, что вы не можете жить с сорока четырех градусов. у меня сто два. "
Он ждал, чтобы умереть в течение всего дня, с тех пор девять часов утра.
" бедный Шац, "сказал я. "Бедный старый Schatz, это походит на мили и километры. Вы не собираетесь умирать. Это diflerent термометр. На этот термометр тридцать семь нормально. На такого рода это девяносто восемь."
"Вы уверены?"
"Абсолютно," Я сказал. "Это походит на мили и километры. Вы знаете, как, сколько километров мы делаем, когда мы делаем семьдесят миль в машине?"
"О," сказал он.
Но его взгляд на ногах кровати расслабился медленно. Держать над собой расслабился тоже, в конце концов, и на следующий день он был очень вялый, и он плакал очень легко на мелочи, которые не имели значения.

To get a general understanding of the plot of this story; The story is about a nine year old boy named Schatz, his father and his doctor. Schatz thought he was going to die when the doctor told him that his temperature was 102.

The story took place before 09:00 a.m. one morning when Schatz came into his father`s room looking very sick and later on the same day being quite uncooperative. The time of the year must be either fall or early/late winter, because of the ice on the ground. The story took place at Schatz`s house and appeared to be set in a country other than France. Schatz being diagnoses with such a high fever and a belief that he was going to die, started the conflict. And when he learned that there was a difference between the thermostats he calmed down, which was the end of the conflict.

The story`s structure showed a hard process. The complications started when Schatz walked into his father`s room and moved as if he was in pain.

The big issue started when the doctor diagnosed him with a fever of 102 degrees, the doctor gave him a prescription for a medication. Schatz had the thought that he would die because the schoolboys in France said that individuals died from a fever of forty-four. The ending of this big issue was when his father told him about the different thermostats. So obviously the climax was when he realized that he was actually not going to die and that he simply, just had a seasonal fever. And the resolution was when he relaxed after realizing and when he cried of no importance.

The characterization of Schatz is that he is the main character in this short story and he shows both positive and negative sides of himself. Schatz is a very determined young boy and he is shown as with a strong willpower and does not seem easily shocked by his position. Apparently he has quite a significant memory because he remembers what the French schoolboys told him once.

Schatz could also be seen as a rival against himself by fighting not to overcome his illness. Basically he was his own enemy. He believed in everything he heard. It sounds like he is as a brat, not listening to his father nor the helpers at home under the circumstances of his father`s absence.

The main “movers” in this story are Schatzґs father who made him calm down and the doctor who gave him the diagnosis of a very high fever. The background people are the schoolboys who gave him the idea of death from high fevers in Schatzґs head. The helpers who tried to take care of Schatz when his father went out hunting are also movers, together with the unknown person in the beginning of the story (probably a parent who is not named).

So over to the theme, this short story actually has several! I think the first suitable theme is “do not believe in everything you hear” because Schatz believed in the facts the French boys gave him. He did not check facts and therefore he believed he would die. The second theme I mean is “Don’t give up so easily” because Schatz didn’t bother fighting for his flu but at the same time, he was too young to realize this. He gave up and was actually just waiting for death. The third theme is “After dark, there is always sunlight” because Schatz was relieved that he was not going to die.

The resolution (or result) was when Schatz returned to normal and accepted that he was wrong about the fever drama. He became friends with everyone and everything returned to normal.

The father misunderstands what the son is trying to say. And therefor sounds like he doesn’t care. For example, when Schatz says to his father that he can leave the room if it bothers him, he means death. When the father responds that it doesn’t bother him, it sounds like he doesn’t care if Schatz is going to die or not. The father also communicates quite cool and sounds like an ego. But this seems to even out because he calls his son Schatz which means honey in German.
