The writer O. Henry was famous for surprising endings, which is a common feature of his short stories. They have original plots and usually end in a way that you can never imagine. Because of his humorous language, his unique narrative skills, and his unexpected and reasonable ending, O. Henry got a high reputation. His execllent technique of writng is more obvious for the irony of reality and the return of human nature. The O. Henry-style ending opened up the pluralistic development of later realistic literature. The highly critical ending of its turning point also promotes the practical significance of the reaction of world literature to society.
