Reflexive pronouns are objects that refer to the subject.
Jennie bought herself a dress.
(herself = refer to the subject Jennie)
The boy wrote himself a letter. (himself = refer to the subject Boy)
They should address the letter to themselves.
(themselves, the object, is the same as the subject of the verb.)

Jennie bought herself a dress.
(herself = refer to the subject Jennie)
The boy wrote himself a letter. (himself = refer to the subject Boy)

After Twenty Years
William Sidney Porter (O. Henry)
O. Henry was one of America's most popoular authors in the world. He was born on September 11, 1862 and died on June 5, 1910.
He won fame as a remarkable short story author because as a true master, he made his readers enjoy and understand his literary piece by combining the five elements that go into every great short story: character, setting, conflict, plot, and theme.
CHARACTERS
JIMMY WELLS
SILKY BOB
PLAINCLOTHES
OFFICER
Setting
It takes place outside the doorway of a closed Hardware store in New York at 10 pm..
Silky bob
When he first appears in this story, Bob seems to have. a sinister presence: he is standing in the shadows of a store that is closed, on a street that is deserted. He has a good explanation for why he is there, however, and he seems comfortable in the presence of the police officer who is on lookout for suspicious activities. His story about going out to the the West and successfully pursuing his fortune is supported by the diamonds on his watch and scarf pin, which show that he is a wealthy and not a vagrant. His story is man also supported by his knowledge of "Big Joe" Brady's restaurant, which had been torn down five years. earlier.
Jimmy wells
Although he is more dedicated to the law than to his old friend, Jimmy still cannot forget his connection to Bob. The sentimental bond between them is so strong that Jimmy cannot arrest Bob himself, so he leaves and sends another officer to do it. He also takes the time to write a note to Bob, explaining himself, so that Bob will not think that Jimmy forgot about him after twenty years. His note is terse and offers no apology for having Bob arrested, but that is the best that Jimmy can do when he and a man who was once his best friend are on opposite sides of the law.
PLAINCLOTHES OFFICER
The plainclothes officer, not given a name in this story, is sent to trick the criminal known by the Chicago police as "Silky" Bob by pretending that he is Jimmy Wells. The real Jimmy has apparently briefed him on the situation: the officer mentions the restaurant that they were to meet at, the plan to have dinner there once again, and the fact that Bob has been living in the West. When asked about his own life, he truthfully states that he works for the city, avoiding mention of the police force. He leads Bob off to a place he knows of without indicating what that place might be.

Theme
Friendship
Friendship is at the heart of "After Twenty Years." The character who does the most talking, Bob, seems to be genuinely enthusiastic about seeing his old friend Jimmy. He speaks glowingly about what a great friend Jimmy was and relates that he has traveled across the country, over a thousand miles, to see him again. When he is questioned about whether Jimmy might forget about an appointment that was made so long ago, he says that Jimmy was the kind of friend who would remain true to the promise he once gave, despite whatever changes might have come to his life over the course of twenty years. Jimmy Wells also takes the bond of his old friendship with Bob seriously. He turns up at the appointed time to see his old friend, and, finding that his friend must be arrested, he leaves because he is emotionally incapable of performing the arrest himself
LOYALTY
Loyalties to people and ideas can sometimes be difficult to maintain, especially when they're split between a person and an idea that might be close to our hearts. Keeping their 20-year appointment to the minute, Bob's loyalty to Jimmy is obviously unwavering. However, now that's he's a policeman, Jimmy's loyalties to Bob and to the law are put to the test when he discovers his old friend is a wanted fugitive.
Loyally is rare, if you find it keep it!
REMEMBER
Doing the right thing must take precedence over everything else.
Be slow in choosing a friend because it takes time to find a real one.

Human Rights and Search for One’s Identity
We must all know the Bill of Rights.
Here is some basic information about this bill.
● A bill of rights is called a declaration of rights.
● It is a list of the most important rights to the citizens of a country.
● Its purpose is to protect those rights against infringement.
● It originates from England.
● It constitutes the fundamental rights and liberties.

The Philippine Bill of Rights is in Article 3 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution which applies to all citizens of the Philippines.
Know Your Rights
Historians have recorded in the pages of history books that rulers and dictators have taken away people's rights. Do you know that in some parts of the world, in the past, and even today, people cannot worship as they please, talk freely, or even gather with groups of friends or travel?
Human laws which include the Bill of Rights protect women, men, adults, and even children. You, too, have your own rights. The United Nations, for example, actively advocates the rights of children.
It is important that you know your rights, so that you can stand up for yourself.

Let me know why I want to grow like me;
Not like my Mommy wants me to be,
Nor my Dad aspires me what I'll be
Or my teacher orders me what I should be.
Please guide me to understand and help me grow
Please let me be what I wish to be Let me be me
Just like me!
