Answer and Explanation:
I believe the author, Ambrose Bierce, used the surprising ending of his short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" to indirectly criticize romanticism. Romanticism is characterized by idealization of people, especially women, as well a the supernatural interfering in people's lives - among other characteristics. At first, that seems to be the path Bierce has taken with this story. When the main character, Peyton Farquhar, is about to be hanged, the noose of the rope breaks, and he escapes. He begins to swim and later walk back home, so far indicating an ideal ending based on luck and chance.
However, a more attentive reader already begins to notice something strange about all this. Not only is Peyton having alarming symptoms all over his body, but going back home would not be a clever alternative. The soldiers could very well follow him home and kill him there. It turns out that Peyton has never escaped. The noose breaking, his returning home and meeting with his lovely wife, all of it was just a brief hallucination. He dies hanging from the bridge. There is no romantic ending to this story, but a more realistic - and crude - one.
<span>The element that is most often found in the satirical writings is letter c, the language that exaggerates social norms. It is because satirical writings are likely to be focused on bringing about the topic in regards to change in both social and political and with that, they are likely to exaggerate social norms.</span>

A weird story that happened in my lifetime was when I was let's say 5. when I was five I was walking with my older sister and then we came upon this box. my sister being a chicken did not want me to touch it but I didn't listen. I walked over and opened, it inside I saw that someone had left a little fox cub in it. It was pawing the side of the box crying trying to get out. I called my sister over and said look a puppy. At the time I didn't know that it was a fox. she told me that it wasn't a puppy but a fox instead. I begged to let me take it home and she said I could take it with me if I could carry it all by myself. so I picked the box up and started walking home. The weird part was that the mom of the fox came to our house the next morning and was trying to get to her baby. That was my weird experience.
I don't know the exact answer because I am guessing this is for your exact teacher.

Explanation:
Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Manchester, England, on November 24th, 1849. She was the daughter of an ironmonger, who died only three years after her birth. ances alternated between living in Britain and in the United States. She wrote three very popular children's books. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886, The Little Princess appeared in 1905, and The Secret Garden was published in 1911. Frances wrote successful books for adults as well as children and also wrote plays. She died in 1924 while she was in her Long Island home in New York.
The Secret Garden is about a particularly arrogant and unpleasant girl called Mary Lennox. At the start of the book, she lives in India, but is forced to leave for her uncle's mansion in England in order to escape a devastating outbreak of cholera. The book is about how the discovery of a secret garden transforms the character of Mary and another character in the book. I really liked the book, as it was fascinating to see Mary change from a horrible, spoiled brat to a sweet-hearted girl. The best scene was probably when Mary first finds the garden that was hidden for a decade, as the description left such a clear image in my mind.
