What is the theme of Baldwin’s text? Give specific details that support your claim.

I think that the theme is "Survival" because in the story one woman bashes a man's face in because she wants to live and is egotistical, but then right after, two women believe in mutual survival, and save the same man. Also, one of the engineers comes to the top of the boat, tries to steal a life vest, and gets brained with a wrench. These show different ideas on how survival should happen.
