In its counterpart, there was much less drama over horror and fear for the ‘headless horseman’ - a seemingly unimportant plot device to make a lesson of the main character, Crane. As said, the real reason for the story, the romance between Crane and Katrina, was ill treated until desperate times in the new story line of the film to add cheesy love moments and motivation. This being said, the horror drama was the theme driving the story. Another story…

    difficult to grasp in the cold hands of the universe. This realization, in fact, is necessary in contrary to the relevance of humans compared to their entire surroundings. The works “Out-Out” by Robert Frost and “A Man Said to the Universe” by Stephen Crane continually illustrate intricate themes to display the overall unimportance of man in juxtaposition to the never-ending changes and high-tech discoveries on Earth. Each author’s brilliant use of tone, style, and theme contribute to the…

    Maggie A Girl of the Streets: A Story of New York centers around a girl who deals with many issues. The story centers around Maggie, Jimmie, Mary, and Pete.

    the most tragic, yet truthful stories I have read. It almost reminds me of a Greek tragedy. However, I would want to focus on the feminist interpretation of the storylines. The main characters that I wanted to refer to were Maggie, Nell, and Pete. Crane shows the naturalistic view of both poverty and gender roles in the 1800s in this story of an alienated female with no opportunities.
