Answer:
"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. His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish! But his disobedient hands gave no heed to the command."
Explanation:
<em>An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</em> is a short story by Ambrose Bierce that revolves around the story of an accused man Peyton Farquhar and his dreamlike imagination during his actual execution. And during the small window of time, he had before he was actually hanged and died, his mind raced through a lot of imagination that seemed real and made him believe he had actually escaped his execution at the bridge.
Fluctuating between dream and reality, the plot moves back and forth between the two. While most of the plot, as we will come to realize in the end, stems from his imagination, there are also some real events happening or described in between. One such reality is in the third part of the story where the details of his 'escape' were described by Farquhar. His description gave the implication that after he reached the water, he strove hard to escape and free himself while in reality, his body was actually suffering from the pains of hanging and the constrictions that follow. This pain is revealed in the lines <em>"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. His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish!"</em> <u>This is actually the pain that follows the hanging and not the pain of trying to escape the water</u> (as thought by him).

Answer:
The sentence contains an external conflict.
Explanation:
We can define conflict as a struggle between two opposing forces. In literature, some common types of conflict are: character vs self, character vs society, and character vs nature.
Conflicts can also be external or internal. <u>External conflicts take place between the character and an outside force - another person, society, nature, financial difficulties etc.</u> On the other hand, an internal conflict happens in the character's mind, often because of the character's self - difficulty to change or to adapt, stress, fear, anger etc.
<u>The sentence we are analyzing here portrays an external conflict, since the characters (hikers) face an outside force (the desert on a hot day). The conflict here is, more precisely, man vs nature. These people can die due to dehydration during the day. They can also die from the cold at night. They can run into wild and poisonous animals, such as rattle snakes.</u>
Answer:
Peru is a country, therefore, it is not an abstract noun. It would be classified as a proper noun since it is named.
Explanation:
Abstract nouns are nouns that are unable to be detected with the senses. Concepts like feelings, birthdays, and freedom are abstract nouns.
