Plot:Girl/ An occurance at owl creek bridge

Plot "It is the work itself, the author's arrangement of events from the first page to the last. Includs the linkage of events by cause and effect. Is the author's presentation of events so as to engage readers intellectually and emotionally. Authors do this through such devices as pacing, intense conflict, surprise, rising action, climax, withheld information, and foreshadowing of later events." (Pg. 45, Course Pack)

Gril
I think that the plot of this story was the wisdom being handed down from the mother to, Im guessing her daughter. An older figure maybe important to the other person/daughter so this information is very important.
AN occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
I think that the plot in this story is the fighting between the north and the south. The farm worker fighting for the south he knows if he goes to fight agasnt the north that he would be hung. But he does and as he is waiting with the nose around his neck another plot apears. Things go throw his mind like he could get out of the ropes and as the man gets of the board holding him up he falls and as he falls the rope breaks and he goes in to the water. He trys to get away but the soldiers shot at him and then he gets out of the water safe and then heads for home. As he gets to the gate he feels a sharp pain. He was dead. So as he was hanging he thought all this in his head.

Side note
Girl
I thought this was a little confusing at first becuase i thought it was just a whole bunch of info that she was just spuing out. But then I figured she must be giving wisdom to some one maybe her daughter.
Owl Creek Bridge
I thought this was very interesting I thought that he was going to be able to be back with his family. That the rope really did break and he didnt get hit by any of the bullets that were shot at him. But then it was such a disappointment at the end when you find out that he dies that everything that happend really didnt.
