Analysis usually deals with meaning while style and techniques fall into the domain of naratology. Content could be the right answer but it is too broad of a term since everything in a piece of literature is content.
Answer:
“A Retrieved Reformation”
1. At the beginning of the story, Ben Price rightly thinks that the bank robberies under investigation are committed by Jimmy Valentine, because they bear his signature style.
2. Towards the end of the story, Ben Price's opinion changed completely. Despite Jimmy Valentine's changed identity, Ben Price, correctly recognized Jimmy Valentine after the latter confirmed his true identity by unknowingly demonstrating his stylish ingenuity by opening the locked door. Since, Jimmy Valentine decided to surrender himself for arrest, Ben Price must have concluded that Jimmy was actually a changed man, especially now that he had fallen in love with Annabel.
Explanation:
O. Henry, the author of “A Retrieved Reformation” published the short story in 1903. The story narrated how an ex-convict, who was wanted for a series of bank robberies, suddenly repented and relinquished the life of crime because he had fallen in love with a woman.
The first quote talks about how people won’t realise what they have until it’s gone, as suggested by “some day you wil love me, but I won’t love you” The repetition of “some day“ shows that the narrator has no clue of when this will happen but is certain that it will at some point.
The second quotation has a similar theme to the previous quote in which the subject of the quote didn’t realise what they had until it was gone or in this specific case the narrator “moved on” The use of emotive language “cared” “hurt and “cried’ makes the reader seem sympathetic for the narrator and is to some extent character development on both the subject and the narrator.
The third quote is slightly different. This quotation talks about sensory language and how you can stop yourself from seeing things but you can’t force your heart to not feel. ”close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel” is used to affect the readers emotions and make them understand the narrators thoughts.
Hope this helps!
