  7. LET US ANALYZE THE TITLE! “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”

  8. LET US PRACTICE SOME MORE! “A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound with a cord. A rope closely encircled his neck. It was attached to a stout cross-timber above his head and the slack fell to the level of his knees” (Bierce 1).

  9. HOW DO YOU GET TO CARNEGIE HALL? • “His face had not been covered nor his eyes bandaged. He looked a moment at his "unsteadfast footing," then let his gaze wander to the swirling water of the stream racing madly beneath his feet. A piece of dancing driftwood caught his attention and his eyes followed it down the current. How slowly it appeared to move, What a sluggish stream!” (Bierce 2).

  10. ONE MORE TIME! • “His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire; his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth. His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish! But his disobedient hands gave no heed to the command. They beat the water vigorously with quick, downward strokes, forcing him to the surface. He felt his head emerge; his eyes were blinded by the sunlight; his chest expanded convulsively, and with a supreme and crowning agony his lungs engulfed a great draught of air, which instantly he expelled in a shriek!” (Bierce 4).

  11. GROUP WORK • You will be put into groups of two or three. • Each group will be assigned a specific literary analysis issue or question regarding “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” • You will prepare an outline or visual aide on poster paper to present to the class. • You must reference passages from the text to support your points.

  12. POINT OF VIEW • OMNISCIENT: the narrator is an observer of all that happens. • LIMITED THIRD-PERSON: readers’ information is limited to what a single character feels, thinks, and observes. • STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: thoughts are presented as the mind experiences them—in short bursts without obvious logic.
