Question module 1 case study

Here you will be writing a response to “An Occurrence at Owl Creek” by Ambrose Bierce. This activity is designed to help you review narration and description. When reading note Bierce’s ability to both tell a story and describe its circumstances.

Read “An Occurrence at Owl Creek” by Ambrose Bierce

Time is important in this story. Not the time in history, calendar time, watch time, or the time of day, but rather the way that people perceive time. We all know how some things can seem to last forever, like a bad cold, while other things seem to be over in a few minutes, like a great party.

In your essay, please concentrate on the role of perceived time.

Assignment Expectations

  • After reading the essay, please write a two page essay that addresses how perceived time functions in the story.
  • Your essay should mention the metaphors and themes which show us what Bierce was trying to say about time.
  • Your essay should contain three quotes to illustrate how time works in the short story.
  • Submit by the end of this module.
