How is “the open boat” structured? how does this structure affect the pacing of the text?

In "The Open Boat," we learn about the struggles of four men who end up in a lifeboat after their ship sinks. The way the story progresses allows us to learn about each man, although we are only allowed full access into the mind of the correspondent. However, through his thoughts and observations, we learn much about what the characters think of life, and more importantly, of death. The setting does not change significantly, nor do the characters. Therefore, the pacing of the text is simply determined by the path that the thoughts and actions of the characters, and in particular those of the correspondent, follow. When the narrator think of the universe, and the indifference it shows to humans, the pacing becomes faster. Similarly, the pacing becomes slower when the narrator is more content with his life. The pacing of the poem contributes to the development of its meaning.
