I can handle the gore of people being killed, honestly, as it’s became a regular thing to hear, but as my want to be a veterinarian, it gets to me more to hear of helpless, misunderstood animals to be killed, even more for no reason.

You had to order your tickets online and the website told you what seat and section you were assigned to sit in.
The person had to deal with death and the reality of war under the worst case scenario. Bob “Rat” Kiley was that soldier and one of the many soldiers that left something in the war. He had lost his friend Curt Lemon and that’s the first sign that the war has been turning to be painful for him. This coping mechanism for the death was to write letters to lemon’s sister and he shot a baby Water Buffalo.

He goes on to produce this story of the boy’s life had he not killed him. He would have gone to University for mathematics, and he would avoid politics. He probably met a girl before the war and they exchanged gold rings, and she liked that he was thin and frail. The author uses repetition in this short story by repeating the details of the wounds. He mentions “his jaw in his throat” and the “star shaped hole in his eye” several times.
When a federal spy disguised as a confederate soldier tricks Farquhar into risking his life to become the hero he had always dreamed of, Farquhar is put in his unfortunate situation. Farquhar inability to recognize the difference between a federal spy and a confederate soldier leads him to the decision that results in his untimely death. The story itself gives the readers a false sense of hope that Farquhar might actually escape his own death. Palmisano illustrates the author's deception when he writes"Bierce does not overtly inform the reader that Farquhar's escape is a hallucination but expects that the careful reader will realize the impossibility of events described in the final section of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".

Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake, or Sitting Bull, the notable Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux holy man with audacity, was a Native American who endured the years of resistance to United States government policies. The result of this phenomenon was the overpowering conquer of United States army officer George A. Custer. This also included his 7th Calvary at Little Big Horn. During his strife for survival on the North American Great Plains, Sitting Bull was known to amalgamate with other tribes, such as the Sioux. From all of his indispensable moments and redundant contributions, Sitting Bull will emphatically be remembered today.

One event that seems to haunt him constantly is the death of his friend Kiowa. Years after the war, Norman continues to struggle with the images and atrocities of war.
