Which statement best explains how O. Henry's use of third-person narration in "After Twenty Years" affects the story?

English

4 0

Answer: B. It gives O. Henry a way to keep key information about both main characters hidden until the end.

"After Twenty Years" is a short story by O. Henry. It was first published in his anthology <em>The Four Million</em> in 1906.

It tells the story of two friends who due to their separate paths in life have not seen each other in twenty years. However, they have agreed to meet on a particular spot near a restaurant that night. The story has a plot twist near the end, which relies on the author keeping information about the main characters hidden until the end. He does so by means of a third-person narrative.

Imagine you are Jimmy Wells and describe your encounter with Bob in about 100 words.(First answer brainliest)
faltersainse [42]

I think that part of a letter that Jimmy would write would focus on why he had to arrest Bob.  The note that Jimmy writes to Bob when he is arrested would be a starting point as to why Jimmy would be disturbed:  "Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. JIMMY."  For Jimmy, his letter to Bob would center about how he felt agonized in arresting him.  In the line, "I couldn't do it myself," there might be the basis of a letter to Bob.  

Jimmy would talk about how their friendship as kids, the personalities they both had, experienced a change as they became older.  When Bob talks about how Jimmy was a bit of a "plodder," it might belie the fact that Bob has embraced breaking the law in order to find success.  The letter that Jimmy writes to Bob might delve into this reality, one in which Jimmy has recognized the need to accept the law no matter what the cost.  Jimmy's allegiance to the loyalty supersedes his loyalty to Bob, something that is evident in both the note he wrote to him as he was arrested, as well as the agony he feels now that he had to make the arrest.  The letter to Bob would talk about how Jimmy felt agonized at doing what he did.  Perhaps, it might involve a level of pleading to Bob that he would understand, or it might be more informative in terms of explaining his actions, but I think that the letter to Bob would be rooted in much of what the note to Bob indicated.
