Read the excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood,

shone great garden stars looking unfamiliar and grouped in strange constellations. He was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance. How does the excerpt contribute to the theme of fate?

The excerpt contributes to the theme of fate in that it suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.

The fact that he was sure of the malign significance of the strange constellations and the voices he hears, suggests that Farquhar thinks an evil force has interfered in his life to have him killed.

Later in the story, however, we learn that the third part of the story was actually a<em> hallucination</em> that came to him between being thrown from the bridge and the rope breaking his neck, and that Farquhar has indeed died.

Heroism, and Beowulf, select two characteristics identified by Emerson that you believe a hero must possess. Then, write an 8-10
Goryan [66]

Answer and Explanation:

Emerson determined the characteristics that a hero must possess. Among these characteristics, Emerson emphasizes the idea that a hero must be highly determined, in addition to having the ability to have an attitude to fight any evil that afflicts people, even if this puts the security of that hero at risk. Through this description, we can consider that for Emerson, Beowulf would be a great hero. First, Beowulf presents himself in history as a man who has a strong determination to use his strength for good. Beowulf is determined to help people and that determination is what allows him to face the most terrible beasts that plague innocent citizens. In addition, these beasts are often stronger than he, as Grendel was. This puts Beowulf in danger when facing these beasts, but he understands that he must use everything he has to protect people who cannot get rid of the terror that the beasts present. For this reason, he faces the beasts, even if it puts his safety at risk and causes his death.

One person I know, who could be considered a hero, from Emerson's description, is my mother. My mother always showed a lot of determination in taking care of her children, making sure that all the family's needs were met, through her tireless effort. She also puts herself in front of the problems that her children face, even putting herself at risk if necessary to protect her children. This shows that in addition to presenting the heroic characteristics determined by Emerson, she has strength and courage to face any adversity.
