Question

Which sentence in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" uses personification?

Answer 1

Answer:

Through the use of point of view, symbolism, and irony in Bierce's, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” the reader is able to understand the main character, Peyton Farquhar, and his mentality as he is dying. The bridge is another center for symbolism and irony in the story.

Explanation:

Personification. The story itself is quite dark and the author uses great detail in describing how Farquhar was to be executed. From his neck turning black, his eyes congested and his tongue swollen, his descriptions were well detailed and the story itself did not have a pleasant plot.
