The First Officer handed the telescope to the Captain. The Captain put it to his eye.

"There's birds everywhere!" he cried. "The whole sky is teeming with birds! What in the world are they doing? And wait! Wait a second! There are people on it! I can see them moving! There's a -- a -- do I have this darned thing focused right? It looks like a little boy in short trousers! Yes, I can distinctly see a little boy in short trousers standing up there! And there's a -- there's a -- there's a -- a -- a -- a sort of giant ladybugl"

"Now just a minute, Captain!" the First Officer said.

"And a colossal green grasshopper!"

"Captain!" the First Officer said sharply. "Captain, please!"

"And a mammoth spider!"

"Oh dear, he's been at the whisky again," whispered the Second Officer.

"And an enormous -- a simply enormous centipede!" screamed the Captain.

"Call the Ship's Doctor," the First Officer said. "Our Captain is not well."

A moment later, the great round hall disappeared into a cloud, and the people on the ship never
saw it again.

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmithâ€™s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near byâ€”it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience andâ€”he knew not whyâ€”apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
