Job#3
In “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”, Fahrquhar imagines in his mind that he is dropped into the water and is drowning. When I was younger, I had an experience with drowning in a way. I didn’t drown obviously but I was close. And when I read that part in the story, I remembered how it felt to be under the water, wondering if I would ever come up again. It was a very scary experience and I think Bierce did a good job of describing it. “A frightful roaring was in his ears and all was cold and dark.” I think that drowning would be a horrible way to die and I’m thankful that’s not how I died when I was little!
