Summary of A Retrieved Reformation

Do you think people have the ability to change? If so, does your analysis include repeat offenders, such as criminals? In the short story, 'A Retrieved Reformation' by O. Henry, Jimmy Valentine, a young criminal, does a complete 180 leaving the reader in shock, but it's not long before his past catches up with him. Let's take a look at a summary of the story and analyze the themes.

Mr. James Valentine, aka Jimmy, will be released from jail years before his sentence is up thanks to a pardon from the governor. As his release papers are handed to him, the warden makes comments about Jimmy cracking safes and covering for people, but Jimmy seems confused and explains he's innocent. The warden doesn't buy it.

The next morning, Jimmy is released. He eats a nice meal and heads to a cafe owned by a man named Mike Dolan. Mike welcomes him and gives Jimmy his key. Jimmy heads up to his room that he was arrested in. Jimmy opens a panel in the wall and pulls out his custom set of burglar's tools. He changes his clothing and takes the suitcase downstairs. When Mike asks what's up, Jimmy acts aloof, the same as he did to the warden.

In the following week, there are a string of burglaries in the neighboring areas. Ben Price, the detective that arrested Jimmy, becomes suspicious and heads out to investigate. Ben is convinced Jimmy has left his mark.
