O. Henry's The Ransom Of Red Chief
Murphy's Law states, “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” In the case of O. Henry’s book; “The Ransom of Red Chief”, the entire plan to kidnap a kid and hold a ransom, goes, as Murphy’s Law predicts, horribly wrong. The story is about two men, Sam and Bill, planning to kidnap the son of Ebenezer Dorset, a rich mortgage fancier, and hold ransom. Me being very sarcastic, and O. Henry’s use of irony, had me hooked from beginning to end.
In the story, Sam and Bill, kidnap a rich man’s son in order to hold a ransom. When the kid first met with them, he instinctively through a brick at them. This was when I realized that this was going to be a funny and enjoyable story.
Since they kidnapped him by using a buggy, Sam had to return the buggy
