1. The First three paragraphs in the short story On the Bridge was successful in introducing the protagonist, but less so in describing the setting. For example, it describes the setting quite vaguely by only describing it as, “He was leaning over the bridge, smoking a cigarette and watching the cars speed by on the highway beneath him”. All of the author’s diction is used to describe it as just a, “bridge”, with a, “highway beneath”, it. There are no adjectives to elaborate on these examples and there aren’t any other nouns to describe the setting. On the other hand, it clearly introduces the protagonist Seth Dawson by having him reply to Adam’s comment, “’How come’?” Seth Dawson asked, leaning on the stone wall next to him”. The author keeps

1. What descriptive details does the author use to make it clear that the setting of the story is a small town?
In our reading, there were many things that jumped out to me, but I wanted to touch on a couple of them. Firstly, I wanted to discuss the whole idea of “the bridge” in the story. On page 11, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, Carnehan talks about how he came to the first village. Carnehan speaks of how he and Dravot arrived “without any trouble”, and then proceeds to explain how they gained control of the village. The idea of bridges shows up again on page 14, as Carnehan makes the natives builds bridges that “cut up the country horrid”, and finally at the bottom of page 18, as Dravot falls to his death. I feel that the “bridges” are a representation of the connections between the foreigners (Dravot
The Gladiator Bridge is support by both Chambers of Commerce for Compinwood and Eaganville. The two goals of the both Chambers is to promote business in the city. The Gladiator Bridge is a great example of a perfect solution for daily commuters to travel between the two cities. With four lanes going in each direction, it will improve the overall congestion on the SR A. Commercial businesses that line both sides of the route in Eaganville and Compinwood will likely see a growth in revenues. Both Chamber of Commerce for Compinwood and Eaganville are in favor of projects that do not disrupt current or future business and will benefit business in the future. These two Chambers will work together as along as sales are improving and goods are expanding.
Although this plan does improve traffic flow in the area, it is not a perfect solution. With the growing populations in both Eaganville and Compinwood, traffic congestion will be back to the levels that they are currently at right now. At some point, capital will have to be used to increase traffic flow. Once capital is put into the system, there may be some pushback from some of the groups. In particular, 500 Friends of Gilder will not want to add additional bridges and instead will opt for a different solution.

In the play ‘ A View From The Bridge” The protagonist Eddie, an Italian immigrant, seems to have complex relationship with who seems to be his wife’s orphaned niece Catherine throughout the whole play.
At these points it is more up to the reader to imagine what the settings looked like instead of the author just stating what the places looked like. An example of this is when the author says Dally was waiting for Johnny and me under the street light at the corner of Pickett and Sutton.” Here the author says that there is a street light in a corner, this has some description, but it is up to the reader to figure out what the rest of the place looks like. The reader has to figure out whether there is a brick sidewalk or a cement one, this is good because then it will be more fun for the reader and it will keep them more entertained. The book also has really specific descriptions, such as this one, “One time there was a very specific description of the setting was when the author was describing the park. “The park was about two blocks square, with a fountain in the middle and a small swimming pool for the little kids. The pool was empty now in the fall, but the fountain was going merrily. Tall elm trees made the park shadowy and dark, and it would have been a good hangout, but we preferred our vacant lot, and the Shepherd outfit liked the alleys down by the tracks, so the park was left to lovers and little kids.” In this quote it shows how big the park is, that there is a pool and a fountain. The quote also says that the
In the midst of corruption sits a Great Bridge towering over the landscape as millions of people commute over it, clueless of how deep the crime beneath it runs. In the midst of immigrants sits a bridge that connects one economic powerhouse to another with the ideas and dreams of a German-born immigrant that never got to see his dream completed. In the midst of the mighty East River stands the East River Bridge as a towering monument of mans' ability to make even nature bend toward its iron-like will. In the midst of all this stands the Brooklyn Bridge in all of its glory as the pinnacle of industrial and engineering mastery of that time period and as a testament to the lives of the people that lived through a time of intense corruption, new
The author wrote about Eddie who has been having it rough lately. He tried to make the best out of his situation living under the circumstances that he does. His family keeps pressuring into avenging his cousin's death. But he still manages to keep his head held high although it seemed like the entire world was against him. He avoids getting into trouble or doing drugs because he knows that he wants a good future and doing those things would not help. He keeps his head down and works for his dollar no matter how hard it can get for him.
The bridge we have created is ethical in the sense that it has a dependable purpose relative to its location, and its uses. By implementing a floating bridge, in a non-linear terrain in the city of Champong Chnnang it allows for effective, and efficient commute between two villages. This idea allows for the saving of time and money, by not implementing a less efficient method of transportation and trade between the two villages. THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH, LET EDWARD ADD SHIT TO THIS TOO.
To further demonstrate that An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge offers example both for and against the definitions of literary realism, this paper will be broken up
In the late 19th century, the transportation demands of Quebec and other provinces success in transportation like Montreal’s success in railways led to proposals for bridging the St. Lawrence River. Quebec Bridge has a long story behind it, a bridge that was proposed first back in 1852 but it was not complete until 1919. It collapsed two times in this duration once in 1907 killing 75 workers and second time in 1916 killing 13 workers. In this report I will emphasize on the first collapse.
Because of advancements in today’s technology in construction field, many types of bridges are being constructed depending on the requirement and their suitability for the situations.
