Then all at once, with terrible suddenness, the light about him shot upward with the noise of a loud splash; a frightful roaring

was in his ears, and all was cold and dark. The power of thought was restored; he knew that the rope had broken and he had fallen into the stream. There was no additional strangulation; the noose about his neck was already suffocating him and kept the water from his lungs. To die of hanging at the bottom of a river!—the idea seemed to him ludicrous. He opened his eyes in the darkness and saw above him a gleam of light, but how distant, how inaccessible! He was still sinking, for the light became fainter and fainter until it was a mere glimmer. Then it began to grow and brighten, and he knew that he was rising toward the surface—knew it with reluctance, for he was now very comfortable. “To be hanged and drowned,” he thought? “that is not so bad; but I do not wish to be shot. No; I will not be shot; that is not fair.”
What does the motif of light represent in the excerpt and in the rest of the story?
death and dying
different versions of reality
punishment for one’s mistakes
life during wartime

When reading over your notes to synthesize ideas, what should you NOT do if you find information that one other source disproves
Nookie1986 [14]
You shouldn't trust the information if another source disapproves. You should look more into it, finding several sources with the same information before using anything you find.
