Persuasive Speeches/Bierce, cont.

Continue with next five speeches.


"An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge"

  • Finish reading the story.
  • Find at least three examples in Part III where Bierce hinted to the audience that the events weren't really happening.
  • Writing: Imagine that you're going to direct a film version of "Owl Creek Bridge." Write a memorandum to the film's producer specifying where you might use the following techniques:
    • close-up shot
    • moving-camera shot
    • quick cut to new scene
    • fast motion
    • slow motion 
    • fuzzy image
    • sound effects
  • What will your film be titled?
    • "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" has already been taken
    • Don't spoil the ending.
