1 answer:

Answer:

The two statements that best identify themes of the text are:

B. The fear of death can affect how we perceive and experience time.

F. War causes people to act in sinister and desperate ways.

Explanation:

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge, for which he is condemned to be hanged.

<u>When the time of his execution comes, Farquhar experiences time in different manner. The brief seconds it would take him to die with a broken neck were enough for him to hallucinate about escaping and going back home.</u> Of course, the narrator does not reveal that at first. Readers are led to believe Farquhar has truly escaped, and that the journey back to his wife took a long time. <u>In fact, it is his fear of death that makes a brief moment seem to last so long. Having that in mind, we can choose letter B as one of the themes in the story.</u>

<u>The second theme is related to how war affects people's actions. Farquhar was living a peaceful life alongside his wife.</u> But, knowing his country is at war, and being faithful to the confederate cause<u>, Farquhar is willing to risk that comfort to burn down a bridge, so that Union soldiers cannot cross.  If there weren't a war, it is doubtful that he would have done anything to jeopardize his and others' lives. This theme is expressed by letter F.</u>
