Indeed, there is even a new business model of peer-to-peer boat rentals that threatens to challenge the existing businesses in this industry. Several peer-to-peer boat rental websites have established with a focus on locations in Florida, which one would have to think is going to be a major boat rental market, attracting all industry players (Dahlberg, 2013)
The idea that there is more substance to criticisms of Crane than to Crane's work itself has not completely dies, with some critics suggesting that he was trying to do with literature what impressionists did with painting and failed miserably at the task. Others, however, take this notion as an inspiring and daring achievement insofar as literary technique is concerned (Bender)
Others, however, take this notion as an inspiring and daring achievement insofar as literary technique is concerned (Bender). This interpretation can certainly be seen in Crane's early description of the waves: "As each slaty wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat, and it was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the grim water" (Crane 728-9)
This is what all literature strives for. Joseph Conrad was so impressed by this story that close emulations of it can be seen in his own work, both in structure and even in some similar passages (Owen)
This element is what is hailed above all others by some critics as Crane's greatest achivement throughout his body of works. Others remind us, however, that while Stephen Crane was an excellent psychologist, he was also a true poet" (Shulman 405)
Not only did Crane live through events almost exactly like those depicted in the story, but many of his stories are based on personal experiences. It is thus the psychological understanding that Crane brings to his stories that impart the majority of their meaning and value, according to some scholars (Starrett 407-8)
"The Open Boat" was hailed by some as the most important literary event of the time for its innovations in style -- the description of a violent and highly personified yet strangely unfeeling nature and the depth of the psychological insight create a strange balance of deep interpersonal connection and utter detachment -- and was recommended to those who did not expect too much from a writer who has been so unanimously praised as Mr. Crane" (Weatherford, 216-8)
With his double use of the word "probably" Crane makes us realize early on (in chapter two) that the sea is both more powerful than the men and also something far grander than it, something beyond their ability to understand or even imagine. (Brown discusses these ways in which nature but not humans "plays" in chapter two
By the end of this long short story, despite the fact that Crane has provided us with only the most elliptical clues about these four men, we have came to understand a great deal about their characters. Crane what must be seen as almost a stereotypical stratagem of the Naturalistic writer (Hill 1989) in placing people in a situation in which their characters are laid bare by the fact that the raw force of Nature is arrayed against them and this paper examines how Crane provides us with clues about how the proximity of danger peels away carefully constructed outer layers of our personalities
5005 was introduced to establish the Department of Homeland Security and for other purposes introduced by Representative Armey. Pursuant to House Resolution 449, it was referred to Select Committee on Homeland Security and Committees on Agriculture, Appropriations, Armed Services, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, Government Reform, Intelligence, International Relations, Judiciary, Science, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Ways and Means, (Gressle, 2003)
Another preexisting plan, the Interagency Domestic Terrorism Concept of Operations Plan (CONPLAN), "outlines an organized and unified capability for a timely, coordinated response by federal agencies to a terrorist threat or act," especially one involving Weapons of Mass Destruction. CONPLAN, issued in January 2001 and signed by seven agency heads, was intended to be seen as a link between the investigative enforcement functions of crisis management and the damage control ones of consequence management (Lee, 2002)
§131-134, was passed on November 25, 2002 as subtitle B. Of Title II of the Homeland Security Act, and regulates the use and disclosure of information submitted to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about vulnerabilities and threats to critical infrastructure (Stevens, 2003)
The main character in the story rarely expresses his thinking and influences readers to conclude that he is insignificant and that they actually have to concentrate on the narrative of the story. In addition to the fact that both stories present characters (Crane even names his characters), readers are probable to ignore a very important character that is present in both stories and that has a strong influence over the other characters
