In the composition of a diary entry for Jimmy, the student will try to enter into the psyche of Jimmy. From the ending of O. Henry's story in which Jimmy writes to Bob, explaining why he has not met him, it is clear that Jimmy still feels deeply about his old friend. In the exposition, too, as Jimmy the policeman walks his beat, he "cast[s] his watchful eye adown the pacific thoroughfare" as he does his job, of course, but, perhaps, also as he anticipates meeting his old friend. It is, then, this same "watchful eye" that probably detects immediately something in Bob's face that keeps him from identifying himself when his old friend quickly explains his presence in the doorway of the hardware store which was formerly a restaurant. After Bob lights the cigar, however, Jimmy becomes certain that the friend of his youth is "Silky Bob," a wanted man. The fact that he policeman "twirled his club and took a step or two" indicates Jimmy's deliberation and inner conflict about identifying himself and arresting Bob.
