Answer: While Ambrose Bierce uses the most characteristic features of naturalism, Stephen Crane uses figurative language to describe human relationships with nature.
Explanation:
In addition to his intense use of irony, Crane presents similes that explicitly compare the battle with a blaze or a monster, the soldiers with long serpents, the rival campfires with red eyes, the sound of a bullet shell with a storm banshee, and Fleming´s running as similar to the way a rabbit would run.
Bierce uses gothic figurative language in a more clear and dominant way. Especially to show Farquhar´s hallucinations and disorientation through melodramatic tone and alliterations and metrics to provide hints of an unrealistic dreamlike setting.
