Charles Dickens Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

This quotation shows that war is terrifying. For example, when Bierce writes that “nature was already effaced” and “he had power only to feel and the feeling was torment” show that war is terrifying because they show that war has taken away all humanity for him. This also shows all the power that he had left in the world was torturing him. This shows that he had nothing left to do but die. Also, the words “agonies” and “fires heating him to an intolerable temperature” also show how scared and terrified he was. They show how war can affect your body as well as your mind. These words also show what goes through the mind of a man who knows he is going to die. The word “agonies” show how painful war is and how much misery he was suffering that he had to go through while being hanged.
