Is any plan FOOLPROOF? You can make a list. You can check it twice. INTRODUCING THE SHORT STORY Is any plan FOOLPROOF? You can make a list. You can check it twice. You can go over every last detail of a plan in your mind.

INTRODUCING THE SHORT STORY Is any plan FOOLPROOF? But even when you think you’ve thought of everything, the unexpected can change the outcome in surprising, terrible, or sometimes hysterically funny ways.

INTRODUCING THE SHORT STORY Is any plan FOOLPROOF? In the story you are about to read, the main characters have a plan for making some quick money, but things don’t work out the way they had hoped.

Conflict and Resolution A story’s plot centers on conflicts, or struggles between opposing forces. By the end of the story, the conflicts are usually resolved, or settled.

Conflict and Resolution For example, a fight between two characters might be resolved when one character wins and one character loses. As you read “The Ransom of Red Chief,” pay attention to the conflicts and note how they are resolved.

Irony is when one outcome is expected, but the opposite occurs. Sometimes, the resolution to a conflict can be ironic. Irony is when one outcome is expected, but the opposite occurs. There are several types of irony in literature, but the one described above is called situational irony. We will learn more about verbal irony and dramatic irony later this year.
