.... Lastly, the positive outlook is the third characteristic of realism. Henry is overwhelmed with fear and abandons the war. Surprisingly, he escapes unscathed and later learns that his regiment had ended the battle victoriously. Although traits of realism are very evident, naturalism is the dominant technique used by Crane.

As Henry and his regiment attempt to pass through the dense foliage, t .....

.... than one thinks. It can put a person into a deep depression. The fairy tales could also have a positive affect on a person. If the person reading the fairy tale is one who takes constructive criticism well, than the fairy tales could have a positive influence on that person.
