Which sentence in this excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" is a metaphor that reflects the naturalistic theme that huma

n life is insignificant before the workings of fate? "The boat was headed for the beach. The correspondent wondered if none ever ascended the tall wind tower, and if then they never looked seaward. This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants. It represented in a degree, to the correspondent, the serenity of nature amid the struggles of the individual."

Answer: This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants.

In the given excerpt from Stephen Crane's "The Open Boat" the metaphor that reflects the naturalistic theme  that human life is insignificant before the workings of fate is "This tower was a giant, standing with its back to the plight of the ants" in this metaphor the author compares the wind tower with a giant, and the ants are the humans, it shows how little and insignificant we are compared to nature and fate.
