The Kidnapper's The Ransom Of Red Chief
The Ransom of Red Chief is a short story about two criminal kidnappers in need of money. They took it upon themselves to kidnap a wealthy man child. The reason behind that was because they were going to use his son for bait for an exchange of two hundred dollars. The men took him to a cave and held him captive, but the son did not look at it that way. He thought the kidnappers were playing games with him. The little boy scared one of the men and continued to do so, but yet he only took it as a game. The other man soon discovered why he was terrified but did not care or take notice in it until the little boy did him the same way. The first kidnapper wanted to return the kid for less money, but things didn't end that way. They both wanted the

    One of the major conflicts in the novel faced by Mercy is that she is battling between becoming an Indian or staying English and not 'giving in' like Ruth. I believe that she enjoys the Indian way of life. It has many new things to offer her like weaving baskets and learning about the natural world. Mercy takes pleasure in having more freedom and learning this very unique way of life. When she lived with her Puritan family she felt so much more restricted because she was forced to be very strict. On the other hand, she has the constant thought that she is dishonoring those killed in Deerfield. Also, Mercy suffers from the feeling that by giving in to the Indians she is sinning against G-d, as well as giving up on her family. The people who raised her now mean nothing, all because these Indians are less strict. That is what Mercy is going through and this sense of guilt is making her undergo a heavy conflict. This conflict is expressed throughout the whole book. Another conflict that Mercy experienced is against Ruth. Ruth is the exact opposite of who Mercy is becoming. She is like Mercy's conscience. She is the voice that keeps telling Mercy that what she is doing is wrong. Throughout the whole story it is Ruth who tried to get Mercy to not give in to the Indian culture, it is Ruth who makes her feel guilty. Ruth repulses every word, craft, or fact that Mercy learns and is constantly scolding her for her actions. Ruth reminds her that by giving in to the Indian culture she is giving up on her family. This makes Mercy re-think what she is doing in comparison to Ruth. The last conflict that Mercy has is religion. Mercy is a Puritan and she was brought up in a way that taught her to fear and hate other religions. She wasn't brought up to be tolerant. Now she must live every day with catholic and Indian believers, whom she was taught to despise. This religion is luring her in and she wants to learn about it, yet she is always feeling that what she is doing is evil.…
