The entire novel is narrated through the eyes of Chief Bromden‚ a Red Indian who is considered by everyone to be deaf and dumb. The Chief gives us an insight into the character sketch of all the participants in the story‚ including himself.

Through this reflective journal I

The Ransom of Red Chief is one of my favorite O. Henry stories. Always the master of comic irony‚ Henry is at the top of his form in this story of two incompetent would-be kidnappers‚ Sam Howard and Bill Driscoll. The story is told in the first person by protagonist Sam‚ whose grand vocabulary and self important attitude helps set the stage for the major fall he and his partner Bill take when they capture a malevolent red-headed hellion‚ Johnny Dorset (a worthy antagonist)‚ and attempt to hold

He loves to be out doing something anywhere. When the two kidnappers try to lure the boy into their car‚ he throws a brick‚ which is very unexpected from a child‚ and he then accepts to go with them.
