<em>"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" </em>is a short story written by American author Ambrose Bierce that was first published on July 13th, 1890. The author uses foreshadowing or flashback to represent and accentuate the gap between reality and illusion that spreads through out the whole story. Bierce uses this technique to guide the reader through the plot, but also to make sure that the reader is surprised when the final revelation about Farquar is known. By using foreshadowing, the author makes the reader question if what it is being told is part of reality or merely and illusion.

Explain how Ambrose Bierce's use of foreshadowing or flashback influence "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge."

Answer: Bierce's use of foreshadowing or flashback influence in "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is very subtle. He indicates the gap of reality and illusion that widens throughout the story. He does so by describing his characters perceptions as they seem to him as opposed to how they truly are.

I hope it helps, Regards.

konstantin123 [22]
The theme of "The Luster of Lost Things" is seeking out one's inner truth in the urban, alienated world. The hero of the book is a young boy, Walter Lavender, whose speech disorder has rendered him incapable of communicating with other people, and has resulted in many limitations that he imposed upon himself. He sets off to accomplish a mission of finding a lost book from his mother's shop. This journey will set him free and teach him many hidden truths about himself and the world.

What was Jefferson's opinion about changing long-established governments?
Nikitich [7]
<span>“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”  -Thomas Jefferson</span>
