The narration section 1 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" can be best described as detached and impersonal. By means of the directness and coldness of this first paragraph Ambrose Bierce takes us straight into the middle of the action. Bierce simply describes an execution in an unemotional tone by providing just the facts: “A<em> rope closely encircled his neck.
