    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.

    understand the iron arch bridge‚ written as‚ H = qL2 / 8d‚ is a good example. 4. A suspension bridge‚ such as the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco‚ can span a longer distance than an arch bridge because of the towers holding the deck. The more towers‚ the the longer the deck. On the other hand‚ in an arch bridge‚ the arch holds most of the weight.

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.
