TOPIC 1: The arguments in your class today were rather unhappy with the ending of the story “The Cop and The Anthem” because O.Henry enclosed it with an unexpected end (Soapy was sentenced to be in the “island” for three months right at the time he awakened himself to be a good person). In your own viewpoint, are you happy with that ending? If not, providing that you have a chance to change the ending of the story, what would the ending be? Don’t forget to tell your reasons.

---------------

O.Henry is a pseudonym of William Sydney Porter, is a famous American writer with a lot of short stories. With his skillfully writing way, he carries the readers into the surprising endings. And in “the cop and the anthem” has shown this ending clearly. In this story, the author brings us into a half laughing and half crying ending. Some people said that it is the unhappy ending because O.Henry enclosed it with an unexpected ending (Soapy was sentenced to be in the “island” for three months right at the time he awakened himself to be a good person). However, with me, it is a completely fair and very happy ending for Soapy because of some following reasons.

Firstly, the prison is a cost which Soapy has to pay for his bad actions. In the world, there is not any bad action without having to pay the price. If not pay by this way, have to pay another ways. Through the works which I have been learnt from the beginning course so far, I find that most characters have to pay the price for their bad actions. For example, in “Rip Van Winkle,” Rip Van Winkle was punished sleep twenty years in the mountain for his idleness and irresponsibility. How about “the tell-tale heart” Although the narrator has used every ways to hide his guilty and nobody knows the narrator killed the old man, his conscience court himself does not also give him peacefully. Then he confessed that it is mainly him who killed the old man with the policemen. And now in this work, so have the cost for Soapy. Soapy has caused many evil actions such as eating in the luxury restaurant without paying money, broken the window of the shop, then wheedled a beautiful lady, and stole an umbrella. From these bad actions of him, I think that the author enclosed the story with scene Soapy was arrested into the prison in the end of the story is very fair for him.

Secondly, I think that the prison is a good settled place for Soapy to survive from the frozen winter. All of us do not want to experience our life in the prison. Soapy is, too. He wants to live in the prison is just an unexpectedly condition. As we known, in the beginning of the story, O.Henry said obviously that Soapy was a homeless, no money, and no relations man. He has to live in the sidewalk and sleep in the bench of the park. If living in the sidewalk in the spring, summer, or autumn season, it goes without saying. However, when coming winter, the snow covers the ground. In the cold air, he can not sleep in the bench any more. He does not want to be frozen to death in the icy winter as well. Thus, he wants to live three months in the prison in the island. That is a normal matter because the prison is mainly the warmest and most comfortable place for him to survive through the cold winter. I think O.Henry enclosed the story with arresting Soapy into the prison is the totally reasonable end, and it is very kind to Soapy.

Finally, when living in the prison, he can deeply think about his awakening. Some people can think that arresting Soapy into the jail is unfair and unhappy. However, I believe that it is truly a good chance for him. All we knew that after all of evil actions he caused, yet he was not arrested. And in the disappointed mood, he wanders and sits beside a church. He heard the anthem which brought him become a good person right at that time, he was arrested. I mean that although he changes to be a good person, it just occurs in a short time when he heard the anthem. If the cop does not put him into the prison whether he can carry out what he thought. We can not know. Because saying is very easy, but doing is very difficult. Moreover, here it is the changing a person, a soul. It is very hard. We can not change it just in overnight. If just with his thinking to become a good man is not strong enough in order to help him showing his changing soul. Perhaps, he will need more time to think deeply about his longing. Therefore, I think the prison is the best place for him thinking deeply about his awakening.

In sum up, the ending of the story is very happy and fair for Soapy. Living in the prison is not only a consequent of Soapy’s bad actions but also a good hibernatiricel place for him. Moreover, I think that arresting Soapy into the prison is truly making a good opportunity for him to have enough time thinking about changing in his soul to become a good person.

Life is not easy as many people think. In the contrary, it is really so complicated and make us confuse with unforeseeable things. Nobody of us can predict what our life will be in the future when all sudden events are always ready to appear and make a change in our mind as well as our soul. In my life, I have already experienced of unforgettable change in soul once time

The memorable change in my soul happened four years ago when I was a junior at the high school. I will never forget that day when one of my friends celebrated a birthday party, and I stayed with her and helped her all day without any call for permission from my parents. Of cause my parents were very worried, and they went out to look for me in the dark rainy night while I was joining the party with all of energy and paying not attention to time until my parents came to my friend’s house. Therefore, the result that I got was so terrible. My dad used the strong words that I did not get them out of mind and hit me with the broom.

In fact, at that moment, I did think that my dad did not love me, and I wrote all I thought in my dairy, even I also planned to escape from my family so that my parents could not see me any more. Since then, the relationship between me and my dad was not good till last year when my dad was diagnosed that he had problem with heart.

When getting this bad news from my sister, I seemed to fall down to the hell. I really regretted. I blamed myself of not caring and loving him much for a long time. I prayed for him every night with the hope that my dad would be ok soon and always continue to be a stern father as he was. Luckily, the doctors said my dad’s case is not quite serious if he did not get any strong shock. There were no words to express my happiness.

I knew that my dad never stopped loving his children, and what he did just made us better. Our crack relation gradually disappears naturally. And now, my only wish is that my parents will be healthy forever. Of cause I also promise myself not to make them sad or shock as well as possible.

Maybe I don’t have a good condition like the others who are having rich parents, but I proudly think I’m one of the lucky people in the world because I have a happy family with the love from parents, and that did make me have few change in soul for a long time.

In general, changing our soul does not really depend on whatever we do, but the way we face and deal with the difficulties in life because the more we get troubles, the more changes we have in soul as well as in mind. My experiences is less than the others; however, they are the meaningful lessons that I will never forget in the whole my life.

Do you believe that fairness always appears in the world? Give examples!

O. Henry is a famous writer with light, humorous literary style, surprise and open close endings. The cop and the anthem is also a story like that. It makes the readers think a lot when finishing the story. In this story, there is an interesting idea: it mentions about the fair in the world. For me, I think that fairness always appears in the world. Life is always equal; no one can get free anything. In below paragraphs, I’ll explain my ideas by examples.

Firstly, the only way to receive your results surely is working, it is fair. Although sometimes, you don’t do anything, you can receive luck. But you can’t get luck continuously; you must work to receive your results. Soapy in this story is a clear example about this idea. He wants to have a warm house in winter, food, friends without doing anything, so he wants to be imprisoned. He is very lucky that he has been imprisoned for years. Maybe, in the past, if he had feigned to do something wrong like this year such as having meal in an expensive restaurant without paying, breaking the window by rock, flirting with woman or stealing and so on, he would have been imprisoned. But it is not always that with these works, he will always be imprisoned. This year, whatever he does, he can’t be imprisoned. Maybe, it is O. Henry’s design: as lazy as Soapy can’t get luck continually. If Soapy works, he will get a house to stay, food to eat, it is fair. Another example about this idea: Once you do not study for your examination, but you get high score because of your friends’ helping. However, your friends can’t always be with you with your examinations. There are many others examinations that you must do by yourselves, so before or after, you must study. It isn’t always that all wishes can become true if you don’t do some practical working for them. There are many idioms tell about this problem: no pains, no gains; no work, no money; no bees, no honey and so on.

Secondly, life is always equal, when it takes you something, it will give you another. Example: you are not beautiful, but you have knowledge, you can have a suitable job for your knowledge and your habit: engineer, teacher… In contrast, you just have a good appearance; you can do some jobs that require appearance like modal… You don’t have knowledge, but you have a good health, you can do labor jobs like building worker and so on. You are not good at calculating or you can’t have ability to study higher, but you are a dextrous person, you can become a painter, tailor, woodworker … All jobs have these own usefulness and contribute to society. In general, there are different kinds of jobs to choose so everyone has their own jobs which suitable for their habits, their abilities. Everyone has their good and bad sides, no one is perfect, so one’s good side can support others. It’s completely fair.

Throughout this story, there are many funny circumstances, but behind them are messages of human culture. Life is always equal; your results will fit your working. Sometime, if it takes you something, you’ll be received another. You should wait, hope and believe in life. You’ll never be received unluck continually if you really work hard. Awarding of it, we draw ourselves moral: the fair to rise in life. We should try to work hard to receive our good results.

Topic: Do you believe that Soapy would still keep his resolution of change until he was out of the Island ? If not, what do you think of the unfairness of that society in which Soapy lived?

written by Tran Thi Ngoc Thuy

In “The cop and the anthem”, by using ironic structure, O. Henry described a main character-Soapy who tries unsuccessfully six different ways breaking the law to be arrested in the Island-a prison. He just changes his soul after hearing the organ music from the church; however, the cop captures him for doing nothing. It has a surprise ending. Many people doubt that whether Soapy will still keep his determination to change after three months in jail or not. In my point of view, Soapy will still keep his resolution of change until he is out of the island because he has positive thinking and positive attitude as well as realizes the value of a man in life after listening to the anthem.

The first reason Soapy still keep his resolution of change is that he has positive thinking after listening to the organ music. At first, Soapy recalls his good and peaceful memories he had in the past. It is true that people are in the way of positive thought often having a tendency to look back the good things. This is the motive helps people to change in the good direction. For example, Soapy recalls “such things as mothers and roses and ambitions and friends and immaculate thoughts and collars.” We can see the good memories in his head will turn his thoughts towards the more positive. In addition, he also reconsiders his negative thoughts in the past and feels unpleasant about them. “The degraded days, unworthy desires, dead hopes, wrecked faculties and base motives that made up his existence”. He thinks that negative thoughts existed in his mind causes harmful to his life. This proves that his thinking has changed, of course, in the positive trend. Therefore, we must think back our good memories to encourage ourselves as well as the bad ones to change in order to hold the positive thinking.

The positive attitude is the next reason proves that Soapy will still keep his determination to change after three months in jail. The initial attitude is that Soapy has a strong urge to struggle with his internal negative attitude. He realizes that he now has to pull him from the difficult situation which he brings to himself. “He would pull himself out of the mire”. “He would conquer the evil that had taken possession of him”. He perceives that he must battle with his internal evil himself which controls his own life in the bad way. Furthermore, Soapy also looks back his ambitions and is willing to pursue them without hesitation. “He would resurrect his own eager ambitions and pursue them without faltering’. The willingness in his attitude proves that he wants to change his fate in the straight way. Thus, people should try to struggle against the internal negative attitude and fulfill the ambitions immediately in order not to feel regretful later.

The last reason demonstrates Soapy will still keep his resolution of change is that he perceives the value of a man in life. Soapy wants to be a worthy man in the world. “He would make a man of himself again”. He sees that he should not let the negative thoughts control him any more. He thinks he should change to be somebody in the world. These are the witnesses indicate that he has a strong desire to turn himself to a true man in life. Also, Soapy realizes that he has to find work to support for himself. Soapy sees his bright way in the future and feels eager to fulfill. He realizes that he must not lean upon others for living. He must take responsibility for his own life. Therefore, a man should rely on his/her capacity to assert the value of him/her in life.

In general, the story with the surprise ending causes the argument revolves around the main character Soapy. The question is that whether Soapy will keep his determination after three months in the prison or not. The answer can depend on every one. Having positive thinking and positive attitude as well as perceiving the value of man after listening to the anthem are some reasons show that Soapy will still keep his resolution of change until he is out of the island. As human beings, we all have to believe in ourselves. “We should not share our dreams with negative people, nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts”.
