In “Thank You M’am,” what does Mrs. Jones mean when she says, “’And next time, do not make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook nor nobody else’s—because shoes got by devilish ways will burn your feet’”?
Mrs. Jones means that when you make that mistake or any other mistake it will come right back at you and make you feel guilty or something else can happen to you
How does Roger in “Thank You M’am” change from the beginning to the end of the story? What causes this change?
Roger changes by knowing right from wrong at the end of the story. He changes because Mrs. Jones teaches him right from wrong, "But the boy took care to sit on the far side of the room, away from the purse"(p.53)
What point of view is “Thank You M’am” told from? How do you know?
Thank You M'am is in third person point of view, I know this because they do not use the words I, me, etc. "said Mrs. Luella Bates."(p.52)
