Uddrag
This question says something about that Nick is still just a kid, who doesn't understand what is happening. He does not like that the woman is screaming, because a scream connects with pain and danger.
This is a very harsh incident for a child, for Nick . On the way home Nick was sitting in the stern with his father upfront rowing. Growing up gets very clear when we compare the beginning to the end.
Nick has separated from his dad; he doesn't need his arms around him anymore. Although Nick is still a child, he still needs his father to be rowing the boat. This could be a symbol of a new chapter.
