Question

If you were in Bob's shoes, how would you have reacted to the letter?(from the chapter "after twenty years")
​

Answer 1

Answer:

, I would say that you should have done exactly what Jimmy did. If the question were, "What would you have done if you were Jimmy?", I would have to give the same answer, because I would be Jimmy and would act just like Jimmy, a sworn officer of the law doing his duty. His character was already formed when Bob knew him twenty years earlier when, according to Bob, Jimmy was twenty years old. Jimmy is now forty and thoroughly set in his ways.
