Add a question mark after “How’re things with you”

Change the w to a capital W in “What an achievement”

Add an exclamation mark after “What an achievement”

Add a question mark after “We’d agreed to meet at Zuzzi’s at 8:30pm on the 25th, hadn’t we”

Why make these changes? Well, for the first change, we would add a question mark because Davina is being asked how things are with her. By not adding a question mark, this sentence conflicts with the next one. In the second change, we would change the w to a capital W because the last sentence ended with a period, meaning the W is the first letter of the next transitioning sentence and would therefore require capitalization. In the third change, we would add an exclamation mark because Davina is being congratulated on her new job position. Although it would make sense to add a period, it would also make the sentence appear a bit shady or envious. In the fourth change, a question mark is needed because Davina is being asked a question for confirmation of where she and her friend had planned to meet.

You can write your paragraph focusing on how factual language is used in the story to portray the reality of war when Farquhar is about to be hanged.

<h3>How to write the paragraph</h3>

For this question, you must write a paragraph analyzing how Ambrose Bierce uses both factual language and imagery in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Your paragraph may focus on proving that factual language is used when Bierce wants to show the reality and horrors of war, and imagery is used to show the dream-like view Peyton Farquhar, the main character, has of war.

We cannot write the paragraph here for you, but we can write topics that you may use to develop your own paragraph. Take a look below:

  • Begin with the topic sentence that appears in the second attached picture.
  • Explain that factual language is used whenever Bierce describes Farquhar's execution. For such description, Bierce is straightforward. He does not embellish language since he wants to show the cold and cruel reality of war.
  • A piece of evidence from the text that supports what was said above is "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."
  • Move on to explain that, whenever the happenings are seen from Farquhar's perspective, Bierce uses imagery and sensory language. He embellishes the descriptions as a way to show that Farquhar's had a romantic view of the way.
  • A piece of evidence from the text that supports what was said above is "He closed his eyes in order to fix his last thoughts upon his wife and children. The water, touched to gold by the early sun, the brooding mists under the banks at some distance down the stream, the fort, the soldiers, the piece of drift—all had distracted him."

The topics above can help you write a paragraph concerning the use of language in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."
