Dear colleges, I have chosen a short story called " A Horseman in the Sky" by Ambrose Bierce. I found it easy and fascinating to read because I knew, the author like O. Henry and many other writers is famouse for his 'twisted endings' , so the more you read a selected story, it's getting more interesting to know the result, the climax of the story.
One of the biggest problems of American nation is set here - the Civil War. Of course it is not going here about basic war actions and bloody battles in that kind of story. While reading it, through all the descriptions of setting (actually this was described brilliantly) it was pretty expected that something is hidden behind this. The feelings of the young soldier and dilemma are the main problems. The problem of choise is formed somehow by a coterie : words and thoughts of a closest parent + the opinion and beliefs of the nation and upper governance's order= what is better? What will the right decision be?
The war is always hard, so the Civil war is the hardest thing. I can assure you, the story will give you all that feelings and emotions.
pretty interesting and unexpected choice for the girl, I mean Civil War thing. But the name of the story is so unusual and intriguing.)
