Which parts of this excerpt from stephen crane's "the open boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity? which parts of this excerpt from stephen crane's "the open boat" describe the narrator's opinion of the sea as a hostile entity? a singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats. in a ten-foot dinghy one can get an idea of the resources of the sea in the line of waves that is not probable to the average experience, which is never at sea in a dinghy. as each salty wall of water approachedit shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean the last effort of the grim water.

Which sentence in this excerpt from "the open boat" by stephen crane uses personification? as the correspondent paddled, he saw the captain let himself down to bottom and leave the boat. then the correspondent performed his one little marvel of the voyage. a large wave caught him and flung him with ease and supreme speed completely over the boat and far beyond it. it struck him even then as an event in gymnastics, and a true miracle of the sea. an overturned boat in the surf is not a plaything to a swimming man. the correspondent arrived in water that reached only to his waist, but his condition did not enable him to stand for more than a moment.

Stephen crane born to methodist parents in new jersey in 1871, stephen crane was the last of 14 children. he began writing at the age of four. after the death of his father, he was left to care for his mother, who was deeply religious. crane developed an aversion to religion. he dropped out of school and went to work for his brother townley, who was a journalist. later he moved in with his brother edmund near a poor neighborhood. his experience of life in the slums influenced his ideas about realism and naturalism later on. on new year’s eve 1896, he boarded a steamship for cuba, where he was planning to report on the cuban rebellion against spain. the ship sank, and crane, along with three other men, had to escape in a lifeboat. the boat overturned, and one of the men died. this experience greatly influenced crane’s belief that humankind existed in an uncaring universe, and he later explored this idea in his short story "the open boat." the open boat the voyagers scanned the shore. a conference was held in the boat. "well," said the captain, "if no is coming, we might better try a run through the surf right away. if we stay out here much longer we will be too weak to do anything for ourselves at all." the others silently acquiesced in this reasoning. the boat was headed for the beach. the correspondent wondered if none ever ascended the tall wind-tower, and if then they never looked seaward. this tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants. based on the contextual information provided about author stephen crane, what theme does the last sentence of this excerpt from his short story "the open boat" likely reflect? nature is cruel to the unfortunate. only the strongest survive. only the smartest survive. only the lucky survive. nature is indifferent to humans.
