The Ransom of Red Chief

Hello Everyone!


This is my first post on this blog!



While reading "The Ransom of Red Chief," by O. Henry, (of whom I am an enthusiastic fan) I could not help but notice the amount of humor implemented throughout the story. It is definitely written solely for the amusement and enjoyment of the reader.


It is a story about the adventures of two robbers and a boy who they have kidnapped for ransom. However, they have absolutely no idea who they are dealing with, and soon the tables are turned and it becomes a story of life, death, and unimaginable torture... Kind of. To tell more would indeed be a crime, seeing as I have already said too much.



Indeed, go find this story at once and do yourself the honor of reading it.



Rated 4/5

  4. Sounds "vanderful" (with german accent). Have any of you seen the movie "The Gift of Love" ? It is based on a short story by O. Henry.

  5. Yes, Tini likes the posts to be in normal size, with black script. I learned that after my first post. The "edit" button sure is ingenious.

    The only thing that I have read by O. Henry is "The Gift of the Magi," which I could definitely get into a heated debate about.

  6. "The Gift of The Magi" was made into the movie "The Gift of Love."
