After Twenty Years" gives us more than just a surprising ending.
It is a story about promise,choice,duty and growth.
It acts like a mirror, showing us how time changes things,
how every choice has a cost,
and that people are complex
we can't always judge them as simply "right" or "wrong."
I hope this story stays in your hearts. In the future, when you face your own difficult choices, maybe you will remember this cold night in New York and these two old friends. Perhaps it will help you find your own answer.
Must do : Polish your letter according to the checklist.
Choose to do: Read more stories about O. Henry to know his unexpected endings.
