__Plot Diagram Reflection__ __"A Retrieved Reformation"__ __by O' Henry__

In the story, "A Retrieved Reformation", the moral is that change is possible but it make take a while for it to happen. Jimmy Valentine was a safe-cracker and once he was released from jail... he still continued. But, he moved to Elmore and fell in love with Annabelle Adams and that changed his whole life around. I learned that criminals can change and that you need to give them time. But, being a criminal is not worth it because you eventually end up losing everything you stole, caught, or taken at the end. This story did not make an impact on me because I do not intend on becoming a criminal.
