Neh: Edsit Ement: Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat"

In this lesson, students will examine the relationship of man and nature as portrayed in "The Open Boat," based on Crane's suffering from a shipwreck on The Commodore in which he spent thirty hours on a small boat at sea before being rescued. After reading and studying the story, students are to write a brief essay considering how the third-person omniscient narrator enabled the author to relate this tale of tragedy and survival in the open seas.
