INDIAN CAMP
At the lake shore there was another rowboat drawn up. The two Indians stood waiting.

Indians shoved it off and one of them got in to row. Uncle

Indian shoved the camp boat off and got in to row Uncle
George.
The two boats started off in the dark. Nick heard the oar- locks of the other boat quite a way ahead of them in the mist.
The Indians rowed with quick choppy strokes. Nick lay back with his father's arm around him. It was cold on the water.

Then they went into the woods and fol- lowed a trail that led to the logging road that ran back into the hills. It was much lighter on the logging road as the timber was cut away on both sides. The young Indian stopped and blew out his lantern and they all walked on along the road.

Great leaders have the ability to influence and motivate people through difficult situations simply by remaining calm and in control. This is demonstrated by the captain who continues to direct his men and keep them on task by keeping a low and calm voice, not showing any fear or pain he may be experiencing (Crane 4). The constant rowing that the oiler and the correspondent must do to make certain that they make it to the shore takes a toll on both men, making them weary and miserable. Both men share the duties of rowing their small craft trading positions when one can no longer continue rowing (Crane 11). When the men are not toiling physically their only rest is taken in the bottom of the boat in the pooled, cold, water; they are so exhausted that the sleep was deep despite the cold conditions (Crane 11). Continuing to push forward in spite of pain, fatigue and discomfort the four men in the lifeboat were able to reach

So the two Indian boys stole a car and drove to the city. They parked the stolen car in front of the police station and then hitchhiked back home to the reservation. When they got back, all their friends cheered and their parents' eyes shone with pride. You were very brave, everybody said to the two Indian boys. Very brave."
Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian captures the life of Junior, a young boy who lives on the Spokane Indian Reservation in poverty. Junior describes the unique experience of killing his own dog because of his family’s financial status through a bitter and helpless tone.

Ishmael had just joined a crew to become a harpooner because he was tired of being on land and wanted to be free on the sea.
