In these short story he is in prison for committing a crime and he is talking about how he's going to in there for the rest of his life . "Seven years ago, he had committed a crime. It was a crime so terrible that even he could not believe that he had done it. Now he was in prison for the rest of his life. He was trapped like an animal in a cage."

My point of view
My point of view of this suspenseful story is that the story is told in third person and and i think it would have been better and my suspenseful if it was told in first person . I like the every descriptive words the author uses in "The Escape" its very detailed and thrilling .
