“COME EASY – GO EASY”
(the report on individual reading)
If to characterize the “Come Easy – Go Easy” generally, I would say it is typical American thriller with much action, violence, pursuit for money and expression of the worst human traits of character. In my opinion, this story was written to become a part of the author’s manner of achievement of commercial profit. And now, writing an essay on the “Come Easy – Go Easy” is, to some extend, a little bit problem for me, as it does not give any vital and important questions to a reader and, especially, does not offer him the ways of their solving. But, as to write an essay on it is my task, I will try my best.
Well, the story, I have chosen, is about a guy, named Chet. He worked in a company “Lawrence Safes”, which made and repaired safes. His duty was to put new safes in clients’ houses and offices and to repair old ones. Consequently, he could open almost every one. Once, Chet was asked to come to one very rich man, his name was Henry Cooper, to repair his safe. While doing the work Chet saw a lot of money in the safe. The itch for riches woke up in his mind. Chet discussed Cooper’s wealth with his companion and an old friend Roy Tracey and two men decide to rob that place. Unfortunately, this careless idea was not lucky and guys were caught red handed. Henry Cooper came back home unexpectedly. Sorry to say, Roy did not found another way out of the situation except the murder of the man, but exactly he managed to escape from the police. Chet did not. He was by mistake accused of the attempt to rob the house and of the premeditated murder. The court sentenced Chet to 10 years of penal servitude in the Farnworth Prison Camp. When Chet appeared in the prison he learnt immediately, that the creatures, which surrounded him, hardly resembled people. The prison stuff’s only aim was to make prisoners’ being there as much intolerable as possible. Besides,
