Deception, Genre, Motifs and Themes in Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” The short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce was an unbelievable work of fiction. The decision to recount this story from an omniscient perspective is the thing that made this story phenomenal.

Do you feel is necessary to repeatedly use big words when it comes to writing essays? In my opinion, the use of big words should not be used as often because short words are simple and understandable. In the reading, The Case for Short Words, the author makes it clear that big words are as good as small words.
