fade in: interior courthouse. we are in a small room used for prisoner-lawyer interviews. a guard sits at a desk behind steve.

kathy o'brien, steve’s lawyer, is petite, red-haired, and freckled. she is all business as she talks to steve.

o’brien

let me make sure you understand what’s going on. both you and this king character are on trial for felony murder. felony murder is as serious as it gets. sandra petrocelli is the prosecutor, and she’s good. they’re pushing for the death penalty, which is really bad. the jury might think they’re doing you a big favor by giving you life in prison. so you’d better take this trial very, very seriously.

when you’re in court, you sit there and you pay attention. you let the jury know that you think the case is as serious as they do. you don’t turn and wave to any of your friends. it’s all right to acknowledge your mother.

i have to go and talk to the judge. the trial will begin in a few minutes. is there anything you want to ask me before it starts?

steve

you think we’re going to win?

o’brien (seriously)

it probably depends on what you mean by “win.”

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.
