He was deep in other scenes. Finally he spoke. 'Billie,' he murmured, dreamfully, 'what kind of pie do you like best?'"(Crane 28).

The Cook is the one that distracts the people on the boat from the negative in the situation. He lightens the mood by asking about different foods and normalcy. He is the hopeful one.]]> 2018-01-02 22:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218410472 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218419437 "They briefly exchanged some addresses and admonitions" (Crane 17).

They are exchanging information and instructions in case one of them would die they would know what to do. There is a type of brotherhood in this because they do not want to leave one family clueless to what had happened to their child.]]> 2018-01-03 01:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218419437 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218420604 "The birds sat comfortably in groups, and they were envied by some in the dingey ... Often they came very close and stared at the men with black bead-like eyes. At these times they were uncanny and sinister in their unblinking scrutiny, and the men hooted angrily at them, telling them to be gone" (Crane 7).

The men see the birds as evil which foreshadows a bad event that is soon to come. The gulls also contribute to nature and that they do not act in a certain way even when they are in trouble.]]> 2018-01-03 02:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218420604 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218420802 "she won't live three minutes more and we're too far out to swim. Shall I take her to sea again captain?"
"'Yes! Go ahead!' said the captain" (Crane 19).

The rowers turn to the captain for guidance like a father and everyone else on the boat is submissive and respectful to him. He gives also gives them orders to keep them all safe, like a father would.

As darkness settled finally, the shine of the light, lifting from the sea in the south, changed in full gold. On the northern horizon a new light appeared, a small bluish gleam on the edge of the waters. these two lights were the furniture of the world. Otherwise there was nothing but waves" (Crane 29).

nature
This is a description of the ocean. The men recognize the beauty that comes from the ocean despite the misery and torrture that it brought them.]]> 2018-01-03 02:30:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218421029 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218421512 "The oiler plied the oars until his head drooped forward, and the overpowering sleep blinded him. And he rowed yet afterwards" (Crane 30).

The oiler represents reality because he is the one who has been the essential person that has been rowing even when he was on the verge of sleeping. He is the healthiest out of all of them and he faces reality and realizes that there is no chance of being rescued.

He wished one of his companions to awaken by chance an keep him company with it" (Crane 33).

The correspondent has created a friendship with everyone on the boat and he wants to be able to experience seeing a shark with his friends and not alone.]]> 2018-01-03 02:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218421937 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218480524 " the little boat, drunken with this weight of water, reeled and snuggled deeper into the sea. 'Bail her out, cook! Bail her out,' said the captain. 'All right, captain," said the cook" (Crane 43).

Determination
The men are determined to get to shore. They are all tired and some of them have not slept in two days, but their tiredness does not stop them and they do not give up. ]]> 2018-01-03 13:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218480524 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218483156 " In the shallows, face downward, lay the oiler. His forehead touched sand that was periodically, between each wave, clear of the sea" (Crane 48).

The Oiler is the one to die. His death shows that nature is random. He was the one who represented reality because he was the one that was most sane out of them all.]]> 2018-01-03 13:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218483156 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218511845 "A seat in the boat was not unlike a seat upon a bucking broncho, and, by the same token, a broncho is not much smaller. The craft pranced and reared, and plunged like an animal. As each wave came, and she rose for it, she seemed like a horse making at a fence outrageously high" (Crane 2).

Nature is wild and unpredictable. It is hard to stay seated because the boat is jumping because of the waves.]]> 2018-01-03 14:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218511845 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218513933 "These waves were wrongfully and barbarously abrupt and tall, an each froth-top was a problem in small boat navigation" (Crane 1).

The waves are rough and it shows nature and what it can do to man and their survival.

Don't you worry. They've seen us now, and it won't be long before they'll come chasing out after us'" (Crane 26).

 He is comforting everyone and keeping positive. They are looking out for everyone and there is a type of brotherhood with them saying "we" and "us."]]> 2018-01-03 15:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218521342 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543769 "A faint yellow tone came into the sky over the low land. The shadows on the sea slowly deepened. The wind bore coldness with it, and the men began to shiver" (Crane 26).

Nature is harsh and causes many people pain. The men are trying to take shelter, but nature is unpredictable and mysterious and can change at any point, yet nature is beautiful because of the way that the colors in the sky can change.]]> 2018-01-03 16:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543769 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543816 "They were a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent, and they were all friends, friends in a more curiously iron-bound degree than may be common" (Crane 11).


All of the men have a great bond that nobody can explain. Their bond is like iron which is strong and had to break. They have a brotherhood that cannot be broken because of how close they have gotten, literally and figuratively.]]> 2018-01-03 16:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543816 emily_r19 https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543865 "he dragged ashore the cook and then waded toward the captain, but the captain waved him away, and sent him to the correspondent" (Crane 48).


The Captain is like a father because he told the man that was rescuing them to go over to the correspondent instead of helping him. He is a father figure because he put himself behind the correspondent.]]> 2018-01-03 16:10:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_r19/m27h5qyskspv/wish/218543865
