In the story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", Ambrose Bierce faced conflicts, both internal and external. Your assignment is to make a connection between yourself and the main character in the story. Peyton Farquhar knew that he would face consequences for interfering with the repairing of the railroad, but he really wanted the timber that had been discarded while working on the project.
