Bridge

1. The Native Americans were able to explore and settle the Americas by the 600 mile wide “land bridge.” The land bridge was made up of massive glaciers that stretched from Northern Siberia to Alaska. The Native Americans actually lived on the Bering land bridge for 15,000 years, but once the last ice age ended the land bridge flooded which caused many Native Americans to migrate to regions of the Americas. After arriving in the Americas different groups of people began to spread out across the…

The creation and introduction of the Bering Land Bridge hypothesis provided Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples with an explanation for how the peopling of North America came to occur that is separate from traditional Indigenous origin stories.

The book by Dan O’Neill entitled The Last…

Headlights. Such a normal thing. I see them everyday. On my way to school, and coming home. But I think I see them most in my dreams. They spin around me, a dizzying whirl or lights. Somehow, I always wake up crying. It's been six years since my father left, and six years since I saw the headlights of his car, driving away. I remember the night he left. The screaming downstairs, the grinding of the garage door, the slam of a car door. Then, all I could hear was tears. And all I could see was…

The short story of Owl Creek Bridge In the short story of Owl Creek Bridge Peyton Farquhar was a big War & Military man, but he wasn’t in the military. He got caught trying to burn the Owl Creek Bridge by the other side. The soldiers put a rope around his neck and were about to push him to his death.

The film version of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge by Ambrose Bierce is almost identical to the story in its characters and plot. However, the two differ in many ways with regard to visual imagery and delivery. For example, the film adaptation begins with an insert of a poster warning of execution if one is caught “interfering with the railroad bridges, tunnels, or trains.” In the story, a soldier comes up to Peyton Farquhar and his wife to deliver this very message. Another difference is not…
