It portrays the challenges of four disaster survivors as they navigate harsh seas in a dinghy, including a newspaper writer and the cook, skipper, and oiler of the ship.
The message of "The Open Boat" is that no matter how much people argue, curse, or raise their fist to the skies, they are unable to change their fate.
The men must cling to the boat in order to survive the waters because it represents human life as it bobs along amid the uncertainty of the cosmos. The boat, hardly bigger than a bathtub, seems even smaller in relation to the size of the ocean.
