Ernest Hemingway was a man who was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago. Growing up, he was always encouraged to pursue the arts in any way he could. Being so close to nature and experiencing World War I, World War II, and the Spanish Civil war, Hemingway’s style showed times of post-war and poverty for the common man.

Lewis E. Weeks offers another view, similar to Twitchell's, of "River." Weeks points out some problems with Nick's pitching of the tent which, not surprisingly, is described in a manner such as not to leave the reader in want of details: With the ax [Nick] slit off a bright slab of pine... and split it
