In "The Open Boat," Stephen Crane shows that man projects his own fears on nature, while nature remains indifferent. Which two parts of the excerpt reflect this theme?

did you ever get an answer? i'm on the same question : (

the author develops a cold, and scared tone. making the reader shudder with fear, and suddenly become cold. i'm guessing that he's writing a scary novel, or maybe about a chilly december night.

the correct answer is c. analytical reasoning. it is when you analyze the situation to form conclusions.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
