Download or read book Through the Shadows with O Henry written by Al Jennings and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al Jennings, if we are to believe him, was for several years a close friend of O. Henry (William Sydney Porter), perhaps America's favorite short-story writer. They met, Jennings claims, as outlaws on the run in Honduras, served time together in the Columbus, Ohio, Penitentiary at the turn of the century, and later met up in New York. Jennings, erstwhile lawyer, bank robber, and Hollywood consultant, was the subject of the 1951 movie Al Jennings of Oklahoma, starring Dan Duryea. Although a suspect narrator at best, Jennings is a masterful storyteller in this 1921 classic. Jennings describes the horrors of prison life so compellingly that the book might have served as a call for prison reform. Yet he also tells how he, O. Henry, and their friends managed to cope. They secured jobs in the prison post office and pharmacy and managed to find a secret room near the kitchen where on Sunday evenings they retired for a fine meal--complete with wine secured from corrupt prison contractors--and good talk. As Jennings recaps their long, philosophical discussions, readers may wish to have joined them in the fancy New York restaurants they were later able to frequent. Anyone reading Through the Shadows with O. Henry will agree that both of the author and his subject were characters worthy of any O. Henry tale.--Mike Cox

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Shadow to Sunshine For a number of years the Author of this little volume has been in the habit of keeping a memorandum of the various incidents coming under his own observation, illustrative of the laws regulating the traffic in intoxicating drinks. In the following pages he has endeavored to weave these various incidents into the form of a simple story, in the hope that it may aid those who are so earnestly striving to save our country from this great national evil. He is fully conscious of its many demerits as a literary effort, and trusts this frank acknowledgement will, as much as is proper; disarm criticism. It his been written at odd times, snatched from the most possible busy, active life, in many cases during hours that should have been devoted to sleep. The scenes are mostly given just as he knew them in some cases not even the name being changed. With an earnest prayer that it may accomplish its purpose, that by it some weak ones may be strengthened, and sorrowing ones be encouraged to labor and to hope, he sends it forth on its humble mission.

This point pleased the patron so heartily that he hit the donkey across the hind leg to test his temper. The Rat showed his teeth in a grin of satisfaction, and without even a word to the boy was gone. Follow me now and be spry, said the rug-maker, and led the way into a low shed where bales Of rugs in burlap were piled high, and in a great bin were count less balls of yarn, blue and grey, red and brown, yel low, black and white. Next to the bin was another enormous pile of yarn, undyed, and this in big bundles the rug man and one of his coolies began loading upon the donkey's back, tying it on with ropes, and balancing the load with great skill. When they had finished, the gentle face Of patient little Brother looked out from under a mountain of yam - enough to tax the broad back of a dray horse.

Download or read book Shadows of Doubt written by Brendan O'Flaherty and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadows of Doubt reveals how deeply stereotypes distort our interactions, shape crime, and deform the criminal justice system. If you’re a robber, how do you choose your victims? As a police officer, how afraid are you of the young man you’re about to arrest? As a judge, do you think the suspect in front of you will show up in court if released from pretrial detention? As a juror, does the defendant seem guilty to you? Your answers may depend on the stereotypes you hold, and the stereotypes you believe others hold. In this provocative, pioneering book, economists Brendan O’Flaherty and Rajiv Sethi explore how stereotypes can shape the ways crimes unfold and how they contaminate the justice system through far more insidious, pervasive, and surprising paths than we have previously imagined. Crime and punishment occur under extreme uncertainty. Offenders, victims, police officers, judges, and jurors make high-stakes decisions with limited information, under severe time pressure. With compelling stories and extensive data on how people act as they try to commit, prevent, or punish crimes, O’Flaherty and Sethi reveal the extent to which we rely on stereotypes as shortcuts in our decision making. Sometimes it’s simple: Robbers tend to target those they stereotype as being more compliant. Other interactions display a complex and sometimes tragic interplay of assumptions: “If he thinks I’m dangerous, he might shoot. I’ll shoot first.” Shadows of Doubt shows how deeply stereotypes are implicated in the most controversial criminal justice issues of our time, and how a clearer understanding of their effects can guide us toward a more just society.
