My opinion of “Ransom of the red chief” by O. Henry

I think “Ransom of the red chief” is kind of funny, boring, and confusing at the same time because I’m not that interested in Indians or cowboys or the idea of kidnapping. I enjoyed the part where the boy who was kidnapped stuck a red-hot boiled potato down Bill’s back and mashed it with his foot though and I thought that even though I don’t like Indians and cowboys, the thought of the kid trying to make-believe and pretend that he was holding the men that kidnapped him captive got me thinking. “Why would he be happy even though he was kidnapped?” if I was the kid who got kidnapped I would be horrified! So this is my opinion of “Ransom of the red chief” by O. Henry
