In 5-10 sentences explain why Ambrose Bierce does not write his story, An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, in chronological order. What do we learn from Farquhar’s flashbacks? How does this impact readers understanding of the story?

Answer and Explanation:

"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is a short story by American author Ambrose Bierce set during the Civil War. The main character, Peyton Farquhar, is tricked into trying to burn a bridge that would allow Union soldiers to cross into Confederate territory.

Bierce does not narrate this story in chronological order. By doing that, he gets to trick readers, especially towards the end. In the first part of the story, Farquhar is already about to be hanged, having been accused of treason. However, the second part is a flashback. We get to know who Farquhar is and how he got tricked into trying to burn the bridge. In part three, the narrator deceives readers. It is time to actually hang Farquhar. But, while Bierce separated reality and flashback into two different parts before, he does not do that now. Reality and hallucinations are mixed. We are led to believe that the noose broke and that Farquhar was able to escape and return home. We are brought back to reality in a sudden, almost cruel way:

Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.

Farquhar never escaped. He hallucinated in the brief moments it took him to die from hanging.

Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:
(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated... can tong endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But
, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate ... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, Ilving and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world wil little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
What does President Lincoln clearly state by the line in bold?
We have come to move forward as a nation after an unjust war.
We have come to pay respect to the people who died in this battle.
We have decided to change the course of the war for the ture,
We have decided to forget this battle because it was too bloody,
