"God Sees the Truth but Waits"

"God Sees the Truth but Waits"

     In "God Sees the Truth but Waits", by Leo Tolstoy, the author foreshadows Ivan's trouble by saying that his wife had a bad dream about him.  In the story Ivan's wife says, "I had a bad dream about you."  This quote shows that his wife had a bad dream about him from coming back from the fair.  He thinks that she is just saying that so that he stays home. He does not listen and goes to the fair.  While at the fair something does happen. He gets accused of doing something that he probably may or may not have done.  When his wife said that she had a bad dream about him I had a feeling that something was going to happen to him because he didn't listen to her and went to the fair instead.

Characterization

Characterization

      The main character of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" is considered a "killer".  The guy (killer) was going to hang a guy of 35 years of age.  In the story it says, "Clearly this was no common killer."  This quote means that he is sneaky.  The man that was hanged was thinking to escape but it was too late, the captain gave the signal to finish him off.  I think the man should have tried to escape. Maybe he would have made it alive.
