1. From what he has seen, what does the man think of the mechanism by which he'll be hanged?

The man thinks that the mechanism is terrible and that he will be able to end his life without difficulties. This is something he would like to avoid, because he wanted to go back to his family.

Explanation:

This question is about "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" which tells the story of a Confederate man who is about to be hanged by the Union Army. While the soldiers of the union are preparing all the machinery that will hang him, the man enters a wave of stress that causes all his senses to intensify. With that, the man has a much greater perception of things and when he sees the apparatus that will hang him, he has the perception that it will be agonizing and that it will finish him off in seconds.

love, how my life is right now. you can be loved and can love others. sometimes you dont feel loved right now, dont worry, someone out there is loving you while you are away.
