Answer and Explanation:

1. The words that make the joke vivid are adjectives like "shines", "tiny", "White" "luminous", "red", "redness." The phrases that make the anecdote vivid are the descriptive phrases that present what is happening in the story being told, among these phrases we can quote: "The spotlight shines on the magician's assistent", "The great Tonsoni annouces he will change her dress from white to red", "The woman is  awash in flood of redness."

2. These words have an effect of creating mental images in the reader who can see what is being discarded through the words presented. This promotes a full understanding not only of the story, but of the space it presents and the configuration that is exposed.

Read the excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood,
Alex73 [517]

This excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", contributes to the theme of fate because <em>It suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.</em>  In the first section, Peyton Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. In section 2, the narrator introduces Farquhar using a flashback to tell us that he is a planter devoted to the Southern cause. In section 3, the narrator goes back to the present and Farquhar is falling from the bridge. He is feeling pain but everything looks strange for him, the stars above him, the language that he hears, and everything appear to have a malign significance.
