What do you think of jimmys actions

English

Answer:

There is a slight weakness in the ending of O. Henry's story. The reader is expected to admire Jimmy Wells for doing his duty in having "Silky" Bob arrested. This makes Jimmy seem like a "staunch" character (to borrow from Bob's description of him). However, he was not "staunch" enough to make the arrest himself. This may be a sign of compassion, but it is also a sign of fecklessness. What would his superiors think of him if they found out that he had been talking face to face with a man who was wanted by the law and didn't make the arrest himself? Could he explain that dereliction of duty to them as well as he explains it to Bob in his note?

After spending some minutes talking to Bob without being recognized, Jimmy takes pains to establish how long his old friend will be waiting there in the doorway.

Explanation:

"I'll be on my way. Hope your friend comes around all right. Going to call time on him sharp?"

"I should say not!" said the other. "I'll give him half an hour at least. If Jimmy is alive on earth he'll be here by that time. So long, officer."

"Good-night, sir," said the policeman, passing on along his beat, trying doors as he went.

Compare john keat's "olde to a nightingale" to emily dickinson's "there 's a certain slant of light" what theme do the poems hav
natulia [17]
Both poems deal with the theme of ideas in the air that are related to the conflicts between belief systems related to romanticism. More or less it is the idea of common sense between spiritual and while Ode to a nightingale focuses on this, A slant of light speaks of oppression that's in the air and a fleeting sense of spiritual.
