SummaryIn the story of “The Open Boat”, Stephen Crane has taken the time to masterfully portray a story that is so very dear to his life. Back in 1897, Crane went through the horrific experience of crashing his boat and being stranded for nearly 30 hours. This experience became so near and dear to his heart that he wrote three stories that made up different parts of his journey. The first story he wrote was documented in his own writing of “Stephen Cranes Own Story”. His second piece of literary work came in “The Open Boat” and the third and final piece was called “Flanagan and His Short Filibusting Adventure”. The most important story is “The Open Boat” simply because of its historical factuality and the themes behind the story.
