欧亨利的作品介绍

The Cop And The Anthem
This is a really funny story, the main character was prepared for the coming winter—to get into the prison, when every trial failed and he was moved by the anthem of the church. He decided to make a man of himself again and to conquer the evil that had taken possession of him. But not until the anthem was finished, this time he was ‘hopefully’ arrested for doing nothing. When Soapy has realized how foolish he is and decided to live a new life the fact deprive him the right, the ending keep us thinking about the whole society and Soapy. What made the story so successful was the ending, the sudden twist not only give the readers a sudden fall, but also let us think a lot.
