You should have all the information necessary to write your paragraph. Please understand that your paragraph should fully explai

n your evidence and how it relates back to your topic sentence/thesis statement. Remember that you are using the language in the story to prove the theme in the story. You are discussing the nature of war--the contrast in Peyton's view of war and the realistic view of war.

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."

What does the author achieve by mixing exact and approximate numbers in a contribution to statistics?
dybincka [34]

Explanation:

Statistics deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation of quantitative data. Often times, we portray statistical data as very exact and only limited by analytical error when we use them.

  • But the world is full of variables that are even beyond that which statistics can put figures to.
  • There are lots of assumptions and estimations to be made in our not perfect world when studying it.
  • Environmental variables are dynamic to a very significant extent and in real world models, they can fail.
  • This is why I think the author deliberately used exact and inexact/approximated numbers in his work.
