Presentation transcript:

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge By: Ambrose Bierce

Farquhar is tricked by a soldier from the North Is to be hanged As Farquhar is hanging there he has a dream that he escapes down the creek After he swims to safety he walks wearily to his house As he walks up to the house he feels a blow on the head What has happened?

Peyton Farquhar = well-to-do planter from Alabama, he was a secessionist and would have done anything for the South, had the heart of a soldier but knew nothing about being one Farquhar’s wife The Federal = posed as a soldier of the South but was really a soldier of the North

Omniscient/Objective Last line page 430 He wants to show the escape was fantasy Pages 424 and 425 – the beginning of the story is both types of points of view They both set the scene and introduces the main character Part II Objective third person because it wants to portray Farquhar as eager to serve the Southern cause but naïve about the realities of war

Third-person limited Page 429, column I The narrator sees hears and feels what Farquhar feels, while he is in the water Shows firing squad in a panicked way Is it strange someone would be thinking so coherently? End of page 425 Allows the reader to become personalized with Farquhar
