condition was decidedly against any open suggestion of hopelessness” ( Crane 98). However, there are outbursts from the crew that question their situation, and potential fate. One crewmember cries aloud , “why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees?

Medicine Man is silly entertainment that could utilize some healing itself. As the film opens, Dr. Rae Crane (Lorraine Bracco) lands in the Amazon rain timberland to meet with Dr. Robert Cambell (Sean Connery), a conspicuous Scottish biochemist so submerged in his field work that a solicitation for a partner and a chromatograph is his first communication with the outside world in years.

In “The Open Boat” Crane depends on on impressionism to interconnect the gulf among objective reality and what his characters in the novel recognize as reality. While the reason of realism and naturalism demands on experience and insight to be practically the same, impressionism…
