Presentation transcript:

“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” Ambrose Bierce

Ambrose Bierce ( ?) His writing and philosophy were shaped by his experiences as a Union officer in the Civil War. Had an unsentimental, pessimistic view of the world. Captured the cruelty and futility of the war and indifference of death, earning him the nickname “Bitter Bierce.”

Point of View Is the perspective or vantage point from which a story is told. Omniscient POV – the narrator is an observer of all that happens. Third-Person Limited POV – readers’ information is limited to what a single characters thinks, feels, and observes.

Stream of Consciousness Reports thoughts and ideas the way the human mind experiences them – in short bursts, without full sentences, and often without clear or logical connections.

Chronological Order Is the order of events. Bierce’s story jumps backward and forward in time. Authors alter chronological order to create dramatic effects of one kind or another.

“An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” Creates a compelling depiction of the Civil War hanging of a Southern planter who has attempted (and failed at) an act of sabotage. Setting – a railroad bridge in Northern Alabama during the Civil War Characters - Peyton Farquhar, a Southern plantation owner; Mrs. Farquhar, his wife; Union Soldiers; Union Scout

How to use “Hang” Hang derives from Old English and means to be attached from above without support below. This is one of the core meanings, as shown in the sentence: The picture hangs on the wall. However, there are several other related uses, for example: To let droop or fall – hang your head in shame. To fall in a certain way – this costume hangs well. To pay attention to – I hang on your every word. To hold on tightly – My daughter is hanging onto my skirt. A way of doing something – She couldn’t get the hang of it. To be oppressive – a cloud of gloom hangs over him. The regular past tense of hang is hung, which would be used in all the examples listed above. However, there is one difference when it comes to hanging someone by the neck. In this case the past tense is hanged which means killed by hanging.
