Roger Frank and Sue Clark "Raw Men" by Frank Richardson Pierce is a short story written in the early 20th century that delves into themes of survival, civilization, and the contrasting codes of conduct between cultures. The narrative unfolds in the Arctic, emphasizing the struggle for existence amidst the harsh environment and exploring the philosophical underpinnings of self-preservation versus altruism. The story centers on Dick Walton, a privileged young man sent aboard a trading schooner with a crew that includes a blue-eyed Swede and an experienced Eskimo. As the vessel faces the perilous Arctic ice, Walton grapples with his identity and worth when confronted by nature’s brutality. After the ship is crushed by ice, he survives alongside the Eskimo. Their dynamic reveals divergent worldviews regarding survival and sacrifice, culminating in a poignant moment where the native demonstrates profound selflessness, choosing to starve so that Walton can live. The narrative culminates in a reflection on the nature of man, civilization, and the codes that govern our lives, ultimately leading to a deeply introspective realization for Walton about true humanity and sacrifice.
