The Open Boat: Crane's View of Naturalism

The purpose of defining a person is at least human race, and the most important thing is the meaning of life. Humans pursue the importance of existence and try to define it in various ways. There are thousands of religions and countless seminars to help people discover the meaning of human existence.

In this story, Klein uses his style and his idea to dispel the general concept of social Darwinism in the second half of the nineteenth century. (See Darwin, Charles Robert.) As with Klein's experience, four men were on board: correspondent, chef, strong refueling person and injured captain. These men are fighting the ocean and it looks like a few days. The correspondent and the oil pot are replaced by a boat, and the chef keeps drinking water from the boat. (831) At dawn, men stop declaring to argue and decide to swim on the coast.
