A man is sitting at
home, a single lamp is on. He holds a can of
beer, occasionally bringing it to his lips. Wearing the pajamas and robe
he has been in for the past week, he silently glares out the window at the stars
and the moon, thinking about how his life is falling apart. His morals and way
of life have been different ever since he came back from Afghanistan. His wife and him no longer speak to each
other, in fact she is off to her mothers house right now. He glares silently as
her car pulls out of the driveway. He sit and thinks, he quietly sighs as the
snow flakes stick to the window pane. That sigh was the only noise the man
made. He gets up, clicks off the lamp
and shuffles to bed.

Occurence Character analysis
Authors note: Here is a character analysis that I wrote after reading Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge. The man in this analysis has just come back from war, his morals and way of thought have been effected while experiencing war. The point of this character analysis is to talk about how warfare can widdle away at your mind and morals.

I am concerned in a variety of ways about what I see published here. First of all there are several errors in the way you have written this text as far as formatting goes. Also you clearly disregard detail, starting with the fact that you don't call the short story by the correct title. Secondly, where did you draw your expectations from in order to write a character profile? I am not sure what this is, but it certainly is not something I would have accepted last year, not to mention this year. On top of that, this entire publishing site is peppered with errors in formatting and that shows a general lack of concern about getting things right before publishing. Finally, I don't see pride in your writing here,. All I see are a scattering of entries that seem tied to age appropriate reading. Where is the sense of purpose, and progress? The author's note should reveal that level of purposeful intent. Here, I find none.
