Question:
Perceptions and Observations of Men in a Crisis
Understand the external environment in these two short stories is an indifferent universe where men suffer. However, I am having difficulty explaining what "The Open Boat" says about the perceptions and observations of men in a crisis (men facing death)? Also, What does "To Build a Fire" say about man's relationship to Nature? I am having trouble finding places in the stories where the authors communicate an overall message of despair or indifference about man's condition..
