In the short story‚ “The Ransom of Red Chief” by O. Henry‚ there are several instances of the reader being misdirected when the opposite happens‚ rather than what he or she expects to take place.

the first video‚ I noticed how Police Chief Ed Flynn discussed the division issue with vulnerable communities and police officers. In his message he states that police officers cannot protect vulnerable communities effectively if they do not trust them (Police Chief Asks for Obama’s Post-Presidency Help‚ 2016).

Atoms are the smallest entities which resemble the properties of an element and cannot be broken down into smaller parts. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are combined. This formation can happen in a variety of ways. When two oxygen atoms join O2 is formed‚ and when three oxygen atoms join O3 or ozone is formed. Both of these have different properties. Different atoms can also combine to form molecules. Hydrogen combines with sulfur to form H2S and hydrogen and oxygen also combine
