In all honesty‚ An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge was a bit confusing to read. It was not only confusing‚ but the ending was a surprise to the reader. In the story‚ we got to see many different aspects of the life of Peyton Farquhar. This story shows the difference that times were back then compared to now.
