Explanation:
"The Open Boat" is normal for Crane's naturalistic style. Naturalism in writing is a point of view that frequently underscores the material, the physical condition as a determinant in human conduct.
In "The Open Boat," one of the best short stories in the language, Crane depends on tone and symbolism to depict the cold blooded detachment of nature.

The sea is described as gray and the only green, suggestive of hope, is that of the land that the men cannot reach.

If I could turn invisible for a day like Faustus does, I would like to use this power in order to gain more money.
This would happen in the following way. I would go to a bank and take money without anyone seeing me and the next day I would be rich.

I would choose to pursue more money and not power or fame, because I believe that for a rich person it is easier to pursue power or fame.
