WEEK 9: ONLINE ASSIGNMENT _ Reflecting on Crane's

pessimistic view of life & See POST BELOW
We know that Crane was foremost a journalist, and possibly a
cynical or suspicious one that believed in the indifference of
nature to man’s plight. Another journalist, Aleks Krotoski
wrote, “Stories are memory aids, instruction manuals, and
moral compasses.”

Directions: Write a single paragraph to explain how you think

Krotoski, who has a much more optimistic outlook on the
purpose of storytelling, would react to Crane’s pessimistic or
negative view of life.
