Daily Poem- Aedh Wishes For The Clothes Of Heaven • Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, • Enwrought with golden and silver light, • The blue and the dim and the dark cloths • Of night and light and the half light, • I would spread the cloths under your feet: • But I, being poor, have only my dreams; • I have spread my dreams under your feet; • Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

  4. Realism • Offers an accurate and detailed account of actual life. • Runs counter to Romanticism, which glorified man and imagination. Realism glorified nothing. (Ex. 599) • Attempt to shed light on social issues and concerns • Character development and exploration became more important than story, often the people introduced are average citizens (farmers, businessmen

  5. Realism • Focus on complex characters who are ordinary people, not heroes or villains • Portray ordinary settings, particularly those that allow for accurate depictions of culture and society • Depict true to life dialogues that captures that idioms and dialects of natural language (I ain’t never)

  6. Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Steven Crane

  7. Ambrose Bierce • Received 15 commendations for bravery in the Civil War • Wrote exposes on hypocrisy and bigotry , earning in the nickname “the Wickedest Man in San Francisco” for his satire • Bierce loved it. He also kept a human skull on his desk. • Bierce vanished when he was 71 to report on the Mexican Revolution, following Poncho Villa’s army. He thought being shot to death was a better fate than growing old.

  8. Occurrence • The story opens in 3rd person omniscient viewpoint. Notice the detached view of a serious setting, similar to newspaper article. • Sets Realism apart from Romanticism • It details the setting for a hanging of an unknown man. • “Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect.” • “In the code of military etiquette, silence and fixity are forms of deference.” • Points out that anyone can be hanged • The man’s senses increase to the point he can hear his own watch- Symbolizes time running out • Calms himself by thinking his wife and child are beyond their reach.

  9. Questions • Why are his eyes not covered? • Why does the driftwood catch his attention? • Why does the stream seem sluggish?

  10. Part Two • The story switches to 3rd person limited. Brings Peyton’s story into focus. • Peyton Farquhar- “ardently devoted to the Southern cause.” • Looking for the “opportunity of distinction.” He thought that opportunity would come in war. • He is warned by a Confederate soldier that anyone harming the bridge would be hanged, but asked what he could do to harm it. – He is told to light the driftwood on fire. • The man was a Union Scout- Setup

  11. Part Three • As he fell, he “was as one already dead. From this state he awakened- ages later.” • Note the vivid description of suffocation- “He had the power to feel, and feeling was torment.” • Falls in the river, almost drowns, and is being shot at.

  12. Note how the third person limited viewpoint allows an in-depth look at the protagonist’s feelings and experiences while creating the suspense of not knowing what is coming next • The coldness of aiming- in instance of soldiers’ training in the real world.- See enemy, Shoot enemy • Peyton manages to make it to land where they are still shooting canons at him. He notices that he had never known a land so wild. “There was something uncanny in the revelation” • He manages to make it through the woods to his wife dressed in white who is waiting on him

  13. “Peyton Farquhar was dead.” – quiet ending to a suspenseful story. • A quick ending can leave the audience still feeling anxious- useful for stories meant to emphasize fear. • Switching viewpoints • Foreshadowing of “as one already dead.” –Where else do we see instances of him being in a heavenly or supernatural state?

  14. What is actually happening while he is fleeing the army? • Why is it broken into three parts? • How does the author treat the topic of death?
