Describe the setting of the short story “The Open Boat.” How does Stephen Crane accentuate the setting in his story? What is his purpose in drawing attention to the setting?

A. they give the reader hope. if the whole book was dark & unhopeful it’d be a little less interesting, little moments make it more interesting to read because then you want to know what happens. if it’s all dark there’s no point in reading if you already know the outcome of it.
