Peyton Farquhar is being executed because he tried to sabotage a railroad bridge and he was caught.  After a poster was put up saying that anyone caught messing with the bridges would be hanged.

    2. Something weird is that they're put so much importance and do it on a bridge why wouldn't they just kill him outright and not such a formal setting. 
    Here the things that are wrong with sound it's that the ticking of his clock is so loud it to him another thing is where he's able to here the coming of the gnats and the dragonflies beating of the dragonflies wings as well as The Strokes of the water spiders legs and they were all honorable to him and that he heard the rush of a fish swimming 
    How here are the things wrong with his site he's able to see the Bugs on the leaves and the reigning over leaves as well as Him being caught in a dream with a bloom of a flower and also seeing the sand and gravel treating it like would look like diamonds and rubies and emeralds to him that's weird.
    The thing that's weird is where she doesn't move  his hands consciously and yes they do and they try to get him free and he's not in control and when they tried to get his the news of the neck they trusted it took it away insert his side and he thought and he and he wanted it back so that she didn't get the water and soon afterward he would water rack into him and his disobedient hands made him beat the water furiously it seems like he has no control over his hands at all and it's not his doing.

    3.Haiku 
    5  Tried wrecking a bridge
    7  and was hanging but Peyton

    4.The part of the story where the rope breaks in on Word it's just a fever dream a dream you have just before you die and really he was killed there by The Noose.

  • It began when they started talking about if animals could feel and that they could feel the pain from being shot and then rainford fell off the boat and then swing by end he heard shots and swim toward the shore then found a giant building and opened and knocked on the door and was welcomed by General and then they had a good Feast but they talked about manslaughter or police the general did rainforest I was disgusted it was in a rainforest and then he goes to sleep.
    •       2.  My strategy is that to read the sentences before and after a word that you don't know so    that you can get contacts to understand it because I was able to do it using the word to compare. 
      3. What will happen next? I believe that General Loris dogs will get him rainford doesn't have much chance in the water cut the dogs can still swim right they could just go in and out and get him. So I believe he will die because even if the dogs don't she can still be shot by The General.
