    886 Words  | 4 Pages

    Henry has a very unique writing style. His clever wordplay is very important in his stories because his choice of language guides us throughout the character 's emotions and characteristics in the story. Because of his clever wordplay, it then helps the readers connect and truly feel how the characters are feeling, and what they are dealing with in the specific situation. In one of his short stories, The Ransom of Red Chief, it is about two men who kidnapped a little boy for money. While the men were thinking of kidnapping the boy, they said, "Philoprogenitiveness, says we, is strong in semi-rural communities therefore, and for other reasons, a kidnapping project ought to do better there than in the radius of newspapers that send reporters out in plain clothes to stir up talk about such things," (pg.1).
