- What are some themes that emerge in "The Open Boat"?
- When and how do these themes emerge?
- What literary techniques does Crane use to develop some of the emergent themes, and how does he use effectively these techniques?
- What does Crane want readers to think about these themes/what insights into the human experience is he presenting (theme statement vs. mere theme)?
- How often do we really stop to think about the ideas about the human experience conveyed to us in literature, from story-to-story, etc.?
