I know this because throughout the whole story the main character (who has been to jail because he was bad) changed into a kind person who saved a child. Therefore the author is trying to show even if you have been bad in the past, can change and be good. ]]> 2017-11-16 18:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/sxb9p64i6lxx/wish/207840938 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/sxb9p64i6lxx/wish/207841118 One message the author conveys in the story is that people can change. In the text it claims, that in the beginning of the story Jimmy was a criminal know for his safe cracking expertise. This shows that Jimmy was a sly burglar. Also in the text it states, that in the end of the story he changed his habits, when have fell in love with Annabelle he decided not to touch another mans money ever again. This shows that after Jimmy’s encounter with Annabelle he was able to change his actions. Overall this is one message the author conveys in the story.]]> 2017-11-16 18:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/sxb9p64i6lxx/wish/207841118 https://padlet.com/jillwalters1/sxb9p64i6lxx/wish/207841133 The author tells the reader that just because you do bad things doesn’t mean you are a bad person.
