A New York City hobo named Soapy,who sets out to get arrested so he can avoid sleeping in the cold winter as a guest of the city jail.Soapy's ploys伎俩include swindling诈骗a restaurant into serving him an expensive meal, breaking the plate-glass window of a luxury shop, repeating his eatery exploit at a humble简陋的diner, sexually harassing a young woman, pretending to be publicly intoxicated喝醉to make troubles, and stealing another man's umbrella.However, all of these attempts are quickly exposed as failures.Based on these events, Soapy despairs of his goal of getting arrested and imprisoned.As O. Henry describes events, the small church has a working organ机构and a practicing organist风琴演奏者. As Soapy listens to the church organ play an anthem圣歌, he experiences a spiritual epiphany 神灵显现then he resolves决定to cease停止to be homeless, end his life as a tramp afflicted苦恼with unemployment, and regain his self-respect.As Soapy stands on the street and considers the plan for his future, however, a policeman taps him on the shoulder and asks him what he is doing. When Soapy answers “Nothing,” his fate issealed未知: he has been arrested for loitering闲荡. In the magistrate’s法官court on the following day, he is convicted定罪of a misdemeanor行为不端and is sentenced to three monthsin Blackwell's Island, the New York City jail.。

《警察与赞美诗》读书报告The Cop And The Anthem was just a very short novel I read in the middle school. I have no memory of this classical novel except its ridiculous ending, which the writer, O Henry ’s best at.By accident,professor Zhong reminds me of the novel in his class. It’s real lucky I think of this novel when I have to finish a reading report this week, especially in autumn. It’s getting colder and colder, so winter is near.The Cop And The Anthem is a story that happened in a cold winter. Soapy is a vagrant who is homeless and jobless. Because of the coming bad weather, he may live uneasily outside and there is a comfortable and warm place for him, Blackwell prison. For years the hospitable Blackwell prison had been his winter refuge.Three months of assured board and bed and good company, safe from north winds and policemen, seemed to Soapy the most desirable thing. Soapy had made his arrangements for his annual journey to the island. He committed crime on purpose so that he can be put into prison in winter. However, things didn't go as he expected. But when he made up his mind to give up evil and return to good, he was arrested.That funny ending impressed me very much. At first, I shew great sympathy to this poor man. He had to put himself into the prison, where his freedom was limited, in order to live himself. But after he stirred up trouble for six times and still didn’t get arrested, he was put into the once dreamed prison because he wanted to be a good man. It’s an entirely incredible ending, but it also became the highlight of this novel. O. Henry's short stories are famous for their surprise endings, his wit, wordplay and humor. And where there is humor, there always is specific implication.His black humor is present in various places from this short novel. Soapy, the vagrant who had committed a crime for six times, was eager to go to prison. But he was always out of luck and got policeman's forgiveness. When Soapy was touched by the anthem and decided to be a good citizen, he was arrested for groundless reasons. This comparison between Soapy’s before and after expresses the social reality profoundly. Although I can’t help laughing when I read this surprise ending, I also feel pity for his miserable life. This kind of black humor not only appears in the ending, it’s used in lots of plots of this novel and often make a contrary to my expectation.Soapy stole an umbrella from well-dressed man when he had expected the umbrella’s owner could send him into the prison. But the umbrella also didn’t belong to that neatly dressed man，anupper class gentleman who had a beautiful appearance. When he sang drunken songs at the top of his voice, danced, and howled on the sidewalk. The policeman mistook him into one of Yale lads celebrating their victory of football game over the Hartford College.He thought Soapy was only noisy but no harm. The funniest one is, when he molested a beautiful lady in front of a policeman, the lady joyfully answered his flirtation. The gentleman and lady who had beautiful appearances, even the policemen all expose one dirty and unrational society to us. It’s a fact beyond our imagination that the noble upper class may hide their dirty heart under good appearance. This sick society caused many poor people’s present like Soapy. But it’s these people that easily could be touched and moved by the simple anthem and decided to give up the evil and be a good man. They were so kind but regarded to be abnormal when they behave peaceful outside the church.O.Henry uses a number of comparison and black humor to fully display the character's wretched fate and cruelty of capitalist society. He is famous for short novels that are skillful with these writing techniques and is also good at describing American society. The story in this novel ironize and reveal the realistic of New York’s society at that times. That ridiculous play happened in a cold late autumn, like now. Hope this winter won’t be so cold because of people’s warm heart.。

警察与赞美诗过冬计划 苏⽐躺在麦迪⽣⼴场他那条长凳上，辗转反侧。

每当雁群在夜空引吭⾼鸣，每当没有海豹⽪⼤⾐的⼥⼈跟丈夫亲热起来，每当苏⽐躺在街⼼公园长凳上辗转反侧，这时候，你就知道冬天迫在眉睫了。

⼀张枯叶飘落在苏⽐的膝头。

这是杰克?弗洛斯特的名⽚。

杰克对麦迪⽣⼴场的⽼住户很客⽓，每年光临之前，总要先打个招呼。

他在⼗字街头把名⽚递给“露天公寓”的门公佬“北风”，好让房客们有所准备。

苏⽐明⽩，为了抵御寒冬，由他亲⾃出马组织⼀个单⼈财务委员会的时候到了。

为此，他在长凳上辗转反侧，不能⼊寐。

苏⽐的冬居计划并不过奢。

他没打算去地中海游⼷，也不想去晒南⽅令⼈昏昏欲睡的太阳，更没考虑到维苏威湾去漂流。

他衷⼼企求的仅仅是去岛上度过三个⽉。

整整三个⽉不愁⾷宿，伙伴们意⽓相投，再没有“北风”⽼⼉和警察⽼爷来纠缠不清，在苏⽐看来，⼈⽣的乐趣也莫过于此了。

多年来，好客的布莱克威尔岛监狱⼀直是他的冬季寓所。

正如福⽓⽐他好的纽约⼈每年冬天要买票去棕榈滩和⾥维埃拉⼀样，苏⽐也不免要为⼀年⼀度的“冬狩”作些最必要的安排。

现在，时候到了。

昨天晚上，他躺在古⽼的⼴场喷泉和近的长凳上，把三份星期天的厚报纸塞在上⾐⾥，盖在脚踝和膝头上，都没有能挡住寒⽓。

这就使苏⽐的脑海⾥迅速⽽鲜明地浮现出岛⼦的影⼦。

他瞧不起慈善事业名下对地⽅上穷⼈所作的布施。

在苏⽐眼⾥，法律⽐救济仁慈得多。

他可去的地⽅多的是，有市政府办的，有救济机关办的，在那些地⽅他都能混吃混住。

当然，⽣活不能算是奢侈。

可是对苏⽐这样⼀个灵魂⾼傲的⼈来说，施舍的办法是⾏不通的。

从慈善机构⼿⾥每得到⼀点点好处，钱固然不必花，却得付出精神上的屈辱来回报。

真是凡事有利必有弊，要睡慈善单位的床铺，先得让⼈押去洗上⼀个澡；要吃他⼀块⾯包，还得先⼀五⼀⼗交代清个⼈的历史。

因此，还是当法律的客⼈来得强。

法律虽然铁⾯⽆私，照章办事，⾄少没那么不知趣，会去⼲涉⼀位⼤爷的私事。

既然已经打定主意去岛上，苏⽐⽴刻准备实现⾃⼰的计划。

警察与赞美诗第一幕出场人物：索比Soapy(索比急躁不安地躺在麦迪逊广场的长凳上，辗转反侧。

)旁白：每当雁群在夜空中引颈高歌，缺少海豹皮衣的女人对丈夫加倍的温存亲热，索比在街心公园的长凳上焦躁不安、翻来复去的时候，人们就明白，冬天已近在咫尺了。

（索比发现一片枯叶落在自己的大腿上。

索比起身，嘴边叨唠道）索比：“噢，该死的冬天。

但愿好客的布莱克威尔岛还有我的位置。

”（顺手扔开盖在身上的报纸，继续说道）索比：“去它该死的慈善机构，我只想在岛上待三个月，那里有吃的，又暖和，还不用经历那些该死的救济程序，我可是有身份的人，才不会去那所谓的慈善机构。

”(整理一下自己的衣装和领带)（索比做思考状）旁白：索比越冬的抱负并不算最高，他梦寐以求的只要在岛上待三个月就足够了。

整整三个月，有饭吃，有床睡，还有志趣相投的伙伴，而且不受“北风”和警察的侵扰。

而为了得到这一切，他只需要去扰乱一番社会治安就足够了。

索比：“也许我应该去大吃一顿。

”（索比离开长凳，踱出广场）第二幕出场人物：索比侍者甲索比走进一家并不怎么起眼的饭馆，没有注意他那双暴露身份的皮鞋和泄露真相的裤子。

他吃饱喝足之后，一名侍者上前来收费。

侍者甲（露出甜甜的微笑）：您好先生，请问你吃得还好吗？索比（摩着肚子，打个嗝，）：恩，还行。

侍者甲：谢谢你的光顾，一共五英镑。

索比：没有侍者甲（很疑惑）：我是说一共五英镑。

索比：这个真没有。

你手脚麻利点，去把那个全镇最矮的警察给大爷我叫来，唉唉唉，别让你大爷我等太久啊，爷忙！侍者甲（声音甜得似蜜一般）我看，其实用不着惊动那警察老爷。

喂，小冬子！（招手）(一顿爆打，自由发挥。

)第三幕出场人物：索比，路人，警察甲乙旁白：可怜的索比一次次地失败着，但是他还是没有放弃，嗯，我想，只能说它是一个有毅力的人，不过也同样是个倒霉鬼。

索比看到雪茄烟店里有一位衣冠楚楚的人正对着火头点烟。

那人进店时，把绸伞靠在门边。

索比跨进店门，拿起绸伞，漫不经心地退了出来。
