Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular

to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.
What purpose is served in the paragraph by the sentence which begins, "Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth..."?
A) It gives us useful advice for life's difficult moments.
B) It gives us a significant glimpse into the narrator's mindset.
C) It lets us know that we can trust the narrator.
D) It suggests that we cannot trust the narrator.

Describe the transcendental experience of Farquhar willing the noose to give way and envisioning his escape into the arms of his
Vikki [24]

Answer and explanation:

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by Ambrose Bierce that is set during the Civil War in the United States. Peyton Farquhar is being hanged for trying to prevent enemy soldiers from crossing a bridge by trying to burn the bridge down.

Upon being pushed from the bridge to be hanged, Farquhar has a transcendental experience. Even though his neck breaks and he dies an almost instant death, Farquhar has a dream - or hallucination- in which the noose breaks. He escapes and swims back to his home, his family. However, even in this dream there is some reality to be found. For instance, Farquhar certainly felt a momentary excruciating pain in real life that permeated his dream:

<em>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. </em>

<em />

In real life, Farquhar probably had an instinctive reaction of trying to reach for the noose, to loosen it. But he couldn't do it, since his hands were tied. That sensation also invaded his dream:

<em>His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish! But his disobedient hands gave no heed to the command. </em>

<em />

Still, in the dream, this situation is transformed. He frees his hands and swims back home. When he is about to hug his wife, he feels "a stunning blow upon the back of the neck". That's when his neck breaks. Both, the dream and his life, are now over.
