Being Kidnapped seems like a situation that would be terrible to be in. For one kid, it was the best few days of his life and he did not want to leave. “The Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry, is a fictional short story. Bill and Sam are the two main characters in the story. With much work they plan to pull off a fraudulent town-lot scheme in Western Illinois. To do this they need two thousand dollars. These two men decide to kidnap Ebenezer Dorset’s child and offer a ransom. Bill and Sam take the child up to an unseen cave on a hill away from the town. The child is a feisty child who always wants to play. His Indian name is Red Chief, notwithstanding that his real name's Johnny. Johnny enjoys being able to have Bill to play along with. Bill is constantly being hurt by Johnny. Not long after Johnny gets there, Bill starts to regret the idea. Sam writes Mr. Dorset a letter demanding the money for Johnny’s ransom. The next day Bill tells Sam that he has sent Johnny home. It shocks Bill to turn around and see Johnny right behind him. Sam then reads Mr. Dorset’s response letter.

As soon as Johnny is secured by his dad Bill ran away as fast as he could. Throughout the story O.

“This same is the fulfiller of the profecye”. (The pageant at Worcester, 1486). Thus, the reasoning for Henry VII naming one of his son’s Arthur. Henry chose not to be a spectate in public ceremonies, for that’s not how he wanted to be seen from the public. Henry didn’t think it was right or proper, so he avoided chivalric imagery. Chivalric imagery is displaying knightly qualities to gain favor or control of the public. A reason that may prove correct is Larry B. Benson suggesting that it was…

During my time in Dr. Kennedy 's ENG 111 class, I have been pushed way beyond my limits of capabilities. Before in high school, I had no idea what a rhetorical analysis was. But here it turns out to the normality. Normally, we would just read a book and then answer questions based on said book. We also had only used citation once if lucky prior to the senior project.
