One of Bierce's book, The Devil's Dictionary was named as one of "The 100 Greatest Masterpieces of American Literature" by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration. His story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has been called as "one of the most famous and frequently reproduced stories in American literature"

The story is set during the American Civil War, and it is known for its irregular time sequence and twisted ending.

The sentence from "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"  that refers to the reality of Farquhar’s situation in the dream sequence he envisions is:

"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."

valina [46]
In the story of “Shooting an Elephant”, when the narrator views the body of the Burmese man who had been creased to death in a crucifix-styled posture, he has an overwhelming attack of conscience. The narrator realizes that just like the Burmese man, the elephant had been crucified, as well, and it does not appease the narrator that his killing the elephant was within legal parameters.The narrator apprehends that the law and conscience are often not well-matched. He is there in an official capability and is hated for it by the Burmese. He equally has hated them for their anger. Yet, when he allows his morality to surface, he understands that he is part of the structure that is there to tyrannize the Burmese. The fact that he holds a position of authority does not essentially make it a moral duty. This is true of his killing the elephant. He did not want to lose face in front of the Burmese, and he was legally justified in killing it, but morally he knows that it was actually morally wrong.

<h3>What is Plain Folks?</h3>

2. Match the element of fiction with its definition. (5 points)
Len [333]

Answer: 1. Setting: a. The foggy, dark streets of London, 2. External conflict:  e. Jekyll and Utterson disagree over the strange requests in Jekyll's will, 3. Theme: b. Humanity is both good and evil, 4. Internal conflict: d. Jekyll struggles to keep Hyde under control and 5. Plot: c. A doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong.

Explanation:  The setting of a story is the time and place where the story takes place (like the foggy, dark streets of London). The conflict is the struggle between opposite forces, usually between the main character and himself (internal conflict, like between Jekyll and Hyde), society or another character (external conflict, like Dr. Jekyll arguing with Utterson). The theme of a story is the message the author wants to express (like humanity is both good and evil). And finally, the plot is the group of events that develops the story (like a doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong).
