2. Contrast the final two sentences from the story:
“As he is about to clasp her he feels a stunning blow upon the back of the neck; a blinding white light blazes all about him with a sound like the shock of a cannon—then all is darkness and silence!”
vs.
“Peyton Farquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge.”
Then write a sentence beginning with the word while to tell about how the word choice and sensory details in the penultimate sentence differ from those in the final sentence.

Respuesta :

The phrases are similar in showing strong use of imagery, but different in highlighting different sensory effects.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Both sentences show strong use of imagery.
  • This use can be seen in the narration that stimulates sensory effects in the reader, allowing him or her to feel the sensations that are being narrated.

However, these sensations are different. While the first sentence, touch, vision, and hearing are enhanced, the second sentence emphasizes vision and the sensation of movement.
