Job #3
The Owl Creek Bridge reminds me of the TV show "The Twilight Zone." In each episode, the main character enters a place where everything seems real but it is not, it is almost like they are in a dream but they are awake. The point is to show the character what would happen if these "dreams" from the twilight zone were to occur in real life. The Owl Creek Bridge is similar because the main character is wondering what would happen if he were to escape from being hung by the soldiers. Somehow he gets his way out of the rope and can get away, the enemy sees him escaping and tries to stop him from leaving they shoot at him. Farquhar finally escapes he is so relieved he is alive and he would be able to see his family again but in the end, you figure out it was only a dream and that he had died.
