4-An+Occurrence

Extender:
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is set during the American Civil War. In the beginning, a man is sitting at a railroad bridge in Alabama about to be hanged. Being clever, I chose the song "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynard Skynard to make a resemblance to the story. Then he hears a loud noise, and it's the ticking of his watch. Once again, being clever, I chose the songs "Clocks" by Coldplay, and "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha, because they relate to clocks.This story reminds me a lot of //Inception//, because this story has to do with dreaming about one thing while something else is happening. Jacob Bear Questions: 1. Who is your favorite character? 2. Why do you think the main character didn't think about dying? 3. Think of a sequel about his family's point of view.

Character Tracker:
Character: Peyton Farquhar Traits: 1. Stubborn. He insists on doing something to support his cause, regardless of possible consequences. 2. Courageous. He goes up against a fort and a company of Federal soldiers, ultimately to his detriment. 3. Thoughtless. He goes off on his foolish mission without thinking about his family, and possible consequences for them should he not return. 4. Patriotic. He was all too willing to __help__ what he thought was a noble cause. 5. Eager. He wanted very much to participate in the war effort, so much so, that true to the spirit of war, he promptly went out and got himself killed.

Alex Bowen's Questions:
1. What happened to Mr. Farquhar? 2. Why did Mr. Farquhar do what he did? 3. Why is what Mr. Farquhar did a poor choice of actions for both him and his family?

This is relevant because Mr. Farquhar was hung. Mr. Farquhar died from hanging on a bridge. The main character thought the rope broke and he got free but the soldiers tried to fire at him. The Southern soldier told Mr. Faquhar about the bridge. Mr. Faquhar was actually dead from hanging on the bridge. 1) Did Mr. Faquhar die? 2) Why do you think the author wrote about Mr. Faquhar's fantasy between the sergeant moving and Mr. Faquhar dying? 3) Hypothesize what Mr. Faquhar did.
