Unhappy Ending I think that the outcome of Ambrose Bierce’s story‚ “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge‚” was credible because Bierce hints that Peyton Farquhar‚ the main character‚ is dead throughout his journey.

This is because the toy retains our focus and interest‚ and then it’s just ripped away.

In the actual events‚ Giles survived‚ but he was excommunicated from the church. He was very against the hangings that occurred‚ however‚ his name was re-entered onto the church scrolls in later years. The first similarity I noticed was the character of Reverend Hale. In the beginning‚ all he wanted was to use his church authority to help the people‚ but after

Looking back on the time his father spent playing with him when he was a child‚ the speaker describes “[hanging] on like death” and “clinging to [his] shirt” (Roethke 3‚16). These childlike descriptions show that the speaker felt a deep devotion to his father and had a loving relationship with him. The terms “hanging on” and “clinging” both signify the tone of loving dependence of child to father. This reliance on his father developed by the theme gives way
