Setting and Characters.
The horror story "A diagnosis of death" written by Ambrose Bierce deals with the horrible events a man called Hawver encounters during his stay in a vacant dwelling which was once occupied by an eccentric doctor who is said to have been able to make "diagnosis of death". In fact, his former presence in this house seems to have left an impress on everything in there and soon Hawver has the feeling of being haunted by this doctor and doesn't realise the danger he is exposed to. Initially, this short story is quite confusing but after the first two paragraphs things get clearer and soon the story grips you totally. There is quite a lot of interesting and useful vocabulary in there so I can only recommond that you take a look at it.

An Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge is a book written by Ambrose Bierce. Bierce is known for having knowledge in Edgar Allen Poe stories. Poe being known for having stories written about death and the struggle with mental illnesses, driving people to do "crazy things," usually has the main character describing their situation and what drove them to do what they did, before they are sentenced to death. Bierce's story tells the tale of a man named Peyton Farquhar who has been sentenced to death, a hanging, for having the willingness to aide to oppossing side, and his encounter with the last few seconds of his life. We see that before he dies, his mind has planned his escape and he can see very well every detail in his escape. Almost a fantasy of running away. Although his mind has wandered off, he is dead by the time the rope has had contact with his neck. So we can see that his mind had actually had time to wander off into an unlikely fantasy in the time it took his neck to be bruised and his body to be dead. Main idea:Bierce's idea of how life has its mystical ending...
