ENGL 1302 9 May 2011 The Open Boat; Perception Over Naturalism Stephen Crane authored the short story The Open Boat which fell into the abstract category of naturalism and rather neatly joined him to great writers like Jack London and Ernest Hemingway.

The poem was sent to his mother in a letter with the words “Here is a gas poem, done yesterday...Through this poem Owen tries to express the horrors of fighting through an resentful as well as bitter tone and unusually striking descriptions. The poem consist of four stanzas; each of which portrays the poets indignation about the tragedy of war using powerful auditory and visual imagery.

Through witnessing death and injury, and with the guidance of their wise friend, Jim, Henry and Wilson grow up quickly and began to realize the true meaning of being courageous.
