Throughout the text "The Open Boat" Crane vividly describes the ocean. He speaks of it's constant movement, change in colors, and temperature. The ocean is the biggest adversary to the men in the boat. They are trying to survive the ocean's constant attempts to sink them and pull them away from land. In this story, the setting is also the antagonist.

Answer:

In the short story “The Open Boat,” four men are cramped together in a small dinghy after the ship that they are traveling on has capsized. The men are at the mercy of the ocean. Stephen Crane accentuates this setting by mentioning that the men could be killed at any moment. The cook is forced to bail water out of the dinghy, while the oiler and the correspondent must row continuously to survive. Crane constantly mentions the ever-present chance of death the four men face by noting the never-ending waves, the water continuously filling the boat, and the flimsy paddles that could snap at any time. Stephen Crane’s purpose in drawing attention to the setting is to show the reader how people are helpless when at nature’s mercy. The saying “time and tide wait for no man” is true. People may try to conquer nature, but ultimately, all they do is survive nature. That is because nature is relentless and all-powerful. It doesn’t stop to judge the plight of a person and limit the force it exerts on that person.

Can someone fix the grammar and help make it sound super professional?
iogann1982 [59]

Out of nowhere, I had realized that I was alone.

There too were green colored people, with their strange and unpleasant offspring, doing whatever pleases them so, living ing thier weird green selfs, passing me strange their strange green faces.

I personally thought they would appear to be as Johnny Depp (love his work), but they looked to me more as Sid from the Ice Age. Before I knew it, the leader decided to attempt to communicate with me, but to no surpise, I didn't understand their non-English language.

In what ways has martin Luther King Jrs dream been fulfilled? what remains to be accomplished?
Dafna11 [192]
Well, I guess an answer to the first question would be that segregation has stopped, whites and blacks are now mingling more. What remains to be accomplished, though, would be all the racism, that has yet to stop.
