What do you think George, Nick, Ole Anderson, Max, Al will do after the story end?

In the story, George seems to have many experiences with this kind of situation. When Max and Al threaten him to stand in the corner by shotgun, he is not afraid. He knows well how to comfort them that not to endanger him. Also, George doesn’t want to involve to this dangerous plan, so when they are gone, he asks Nick to warn Ole Anderson. Especially, in the end, he uses the towel, which ties in Nick and cook’s mouth to wipe the counter. It shows how comfortable with the situation he is now, so I think he probably will stay in the restaurant.  Unlike George, he is brave at the first time, and tries to save Ole Anderson as much as he can. However, after he has talked with Ole Anderson, he becomes afraid to involve in the situation, so he says that he is going to leave the town. For Ole Anderson, he is a strange man. In the context, “Nick looked at the big man lying on the bed” and “Ole Anderson rolled over toward the wall”, these implies that he may have some troubles in his life, and he doesn’t care about his dangerous circumstance. As Max and Al haven’t waited him in the restaurant, they will continue to look for Ole Anderson. As a result, it is possible for them to get into Ole Anderson’s place and kill him. Since Ole Anderson doesn’t care about himself, he must be going to die.

  1. This is a good analysis, Olivia! (I would recommend deleting this sentence, though, as your other points disagree with it: "Nick is same as George, and they have many experience.")
