Bill Driscoll, a character in O. Henry's "The Ransom of Red Chief," is typically portrayed as a rugged, somewhat disheveled man. He is depicted as having a rough demeanor, reflecting his role as a kidnapper who becomes increasingly frustrated with the mischievous boy they have abducted. His appearance suggests a working-class background, emphasizing his practicality and the challenges he faces throughout the story.
The theme of this story is implied. The theme is "Criminals always get what they deserve". Bill and Sam find themselves forced at the end of story to pay Red Chief's father in order to get rid of the mischievous kid. This is really ironic, because we expected the father to pay the ransom like what ordinary people would do. Instead O. Henry ended the story with a twist and made the story more memorable. Thus, Bill and Sam lost their ransom and had to pay 250 $ to have things sorted out

In a interview Rob said he wanted to change it to Ransom Spunk. Though it sounded kind of a joke ...
Robert Thomas Pattinson was born on May 13th 1986 wanted the name Ransom Spunk so crazed fans (probably like you) changed it to Spunk Ransom. You got this answer from a almost 11 year old. Beat that. I also have his address. It is: c/o Endeavor Agency Stephanie Ritz 9601 Wilshire Blvd 3rd Floor Beverly Hills, CA 90210. And you can find the cast of New Moon in Vancouver Canada. That's all I'll say about New Moon. Edward leaves in New Moon by the way if you haven't read New Moon. Robert Pattinson is a Taurus as in horoscopes.

It is: You get what you deserve, because its like karma when they kidnap the boy
Bill finds out that all of Summit is in an uproar because the boy is lost or stolen, just like any small community would be if a boy went missing.
As flat as a flannel cake, He started up a howl like a calliope and fastened himself as tight as a leach to Bill's leg, A look came in his eye like a rabbit's when you catch it in a trap, and A rock as big as a coconut.
An example of one allusion in "Ransom of Red Chief" is "By Geronimo!",(40).
The boy reacts by thinking it's all just a game- he tries to play Indians, and Spies, and he torments Bill until Bill goes almost crazy. He doesn't really care about being kidnapped, and sees it as a fun adventure.
In "The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry, the roles of the wolf and the lambkin are humorously inverted. The kidnappers, Bill and Sam, initially see themselves as the wolves, preying on the innocent child, who they believe to be the lambkin. However, the mischievous and wild nature of the boy, Johnny, turns the situation on its head, as he terrorizes his captors, making them feel more like the lambs being hunted. Ultimately, the story highlights how appearances can be deceiving and that sometimes the perceived victim holds the real power.
