O' Henry's choice to have Jimmy write the note to Bob <em>provides the reader with insight into Jimmy's character and illustrates how different the two men are after twenty years</em>. After this time, Jimmy has become a police officer and Bob, a famous criminal. <em>They used to be friends when they were younger</em>. But when they meet after twenty years, Jimmy realizes that his friend is a known criminal who is being searched for, and, as he used to be close to him in the past, <em>he cannot arrest him on his own</em>, so he looks for another police officer to arrest his friend.
What do you need help with
Answer:
As I climbed out of the New York City subway, one man (lets call him <em>Red)</em> in a red jacket, blue denim torn on the knees, and a hair that had been combed upward and jelled together to make it look like a chicken's comb dashed down the stairs. But for the rails, he would have knocked me over. He nearly lost his balance as well.
He was being chased by another man (who I will call <em>The</em> <em>Chaser)</em>. I didn't stay to find out why, but I did see that The Chaser caught up with red and a fight ensued.
Before I finally took the few steps up and away from the subway, two cops who were on patrol had intervened. At this time, however, red's nose was gushing with red blood.
Cheers!
