The four men are depicted as a captain, correspondent, cook, and an oiler named Billie. The story starts with these men out at sea on a dinghy after their steamer ship the Commodore sank. Naturalists believe that human beings are shaped by heredity and environment and dominated by economic, social, or natural forces. This is shown in The Open Boat…

within swimming range. There are sharp, jagged rocks deep within the vast ocean surrounding Rainsford, therefore, swimming anywhere has a high risk of injury. “Ship Trap Island” got it’s name from stories of boats hitting the large rocks and sinking, so no sailor wants to go to the island. On the boat before he falls off, Rainsford listens intently as his friend Whitney tells him “‘Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don’t know why’”(1). Since no one comes to the island, there is no…
“Show Boat was the show that allowed drama to come back to Broadway as it had a completely integrated score and book that was all based on dramatic themes.” (The History). If Show Boat did not achieve the success, then operettas could have hindered and been set back. Another one of my top examples is Victor Herbert’s work. He was one of the first…

immediately grabbed my attention when Ishiguro brought Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth to this boat not long before Ruth’s “completion”. This beached boat is symbolizing mortality and a journey threw life. Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth are realizing their time is becoming short and must go see this boat the other donors have been speaking of. Even with Ruth being very weak they search threw the woods to find it. “Then we gazed at the beached boat. I could now see how its paint was cracking, and how the timber…
The experience of reading Crane’s The Open Boat, isn’t distinctly adrenaline pumping nor is it overwhelmingly emotional. The reader, as well as the men in the boat, do end in a starkly different scenario than when they began their journey, but the movement is often hard to pin point.

Shawn Michelle Smith investigates a similar scenario in her analysis of Muybridge’s photo framing. In a series…
