Bierce uses the method to draw out a single moment in the life of the person to a long drawn introspection on life.

Explanation:

The Incident at Owl Creek Bridge by Bierce is one of the great short stories of all time.

It uses the last instant of a life of a solider who is sentenced to death for his introspection on life and his hope of escaping the ordeal.

This is drawn out in suspense by the methodical writing style of the writer who draws out the moment into a story that we start believing that he has actually escaped.

By the time the reality hits us the, he is already dead.

What did the alien and sedition acts represent
Jet001 [13]
The Alien and Sedition Acts were imposed in 1798, the acts of which made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens in America, as they were seen as potential threats to National Security. Difficulties such as prolonging the years of residency required for citizenship, deportation and imprisonment, and lack of freedom of speech were all part of the acts that intended to enfeeble the Democratic-Republican party, but rather strengthened the party in the upcoming election in 1800 due to antithetical feedback it received. 

The acts represent the importance of National Security by the Federalists, due to the fact that they were imposed by a Federalist controlled Congress.
