    In Conclusion, the characters Mrs. Jones and Squeaky have similar and different responses to the problem. Even though Mrs. Jones and Squeaky both aid another character, they don’t assist the character by giving the same type of help. When readers think about how a character responds to a conflict, it makes them think about a time when they had a similar problem but solved it a different way.

Have you ever wondered why our justice system is so unfair? I am sure everyone would agree that someone who is a serial killer of infants and children deserves the death penalty even more so than someone who commits a lesser crime gets the death penalty as well. For example, a woman gets the death penalty for killing 7 men, but another woman does not get the death penalty for killing eleven plus infants and children. There is one woman behind my questioning. Throughout my research I decided to find a crime I never heard about before, which lead me to a woman named Genene Jones. Furthermore, I will discuss Jones’s life leading up to the events, the crimes she committed, as well as her life now.

To begin with when Mrs. Jones gets her purse snatched she does not run away like a scared old lady, she stands up and tells him to pick up her pocket book. For instance when Mrs. Jones says “Pick up my pocketbook, boy, and give it to here” (Pg. 1). Proves she is one rough lady, that is not going to let anybody get in her way. While on the other hand Roger seems nervous of Mrs. Jones.

Mrs. Jones shows her leadership skills in the story Thank You, Ma'am. She chose not to punish a young man Rodger, for his

How does Mrs. Jones action changes Rodger? Well to begin Mrs. Jones is a kind, forgiving and passionate individual. On page 32 it states that Mrs. Jones thought that maybe Rodger was hungry but come to find out Rodger wasn’t hungry after all he wanted a pair of blue suede shoes but instead of asking he decided to attempt to snatch her purse.

Deep down , Ms Jones is driven by the fact that she wants to teach Roger not to make the same mistakes that she made when she was young because she tells him multiple times that she wished that he would behave himself and she also said that she had done things that she wouldn't tell god if he didn't already know.

In the story of Thank You Ma’am how Mrs. Jones makes Roger feel good. Mrs. Jones acted

At the beginning of “Thank you, Ma’am,” we see how just how compassionate Mrs. Jones really is. The moment she meets Roger, she tells the boy to wash his face. “Least I can do is wash your face. Are you hungry?” This might not seem like a very compassionate thing to do at first, however, she doesn’t even know the boy, yet she has enough compassion to make sure he is clean. Then, she takes the boy inside of her house! In addition, the boy, Roger asks, “You going to take me to jail?” But Mrs. Jones doesn’t. Maybe she sees that Roger is really a good boy inside, so she shows compassion to bring out his true kindness. This makes me think that he was probably trying to steal because he had to. And when Mrs. Jones asked him if he had anyone at home, he said, “No’m.” Mrs.

Peters, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Wright. The fact that Mrs. Wright was mistreated by her husband leads to a confession from Mrs. Hale when she laments, “We all go through the same things--it's all just a different kind of the same thing” (Glaspell 23). Although it was common during the time period for men to beat their wives, the verbal confirmation of Mrs. Hale created a sense of unity between the ladies. The same unity the women displayed at the beginning of the play by keeping close to each other in the room that was dominated by men. In the same way the realization that every woman experiences similar trials and mistreatments causes the bond between the woman to grow stronger. Once the verbal confirmation of the abuse and struggles women have to deal with are exposed, and the realization that Mr. Wright was probably more abusive towards Mrs. Wright a new found sense of empathy is formed between the women. This deep understanding of what it feels like to be isolated and neglected by not just your husband but the rest of society causes both Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peter to do whatever is necessary to protect Mr. Wright which causes them to break the law and cover up any sign of a motive for the

In the story we read there was a woman named MS .Jones. She had a purse that she keeps everything in it. One day she was walking alone from work then a small boy tried to steal her purse but when he pulled the purse the strap broke and he fell on his butt. So she grabbed his shirt and told him to pick up the purse and he did. Then she asked what his name he told her Roger she if he had any parents at home to teach him better he said no. She asked if he was hungry and took him to her house to cook him something to eat when they got there she made him clean his face after that she started cooking meanwhile he was just sitting in the living room waiting for her to finish cooking the food. So after a minute and asked if she needed he to get something

To illustrate the first reason when Mrs.Jones showed that anyone can show kindness, is when she fed Rodger here is an example “She heated some lima beans and ham she had in the icebox. Made the coca and set the table.” Also more evidence includes “” Do you need somebody to go to the store,” asked the boy “ maybe to get some milk or something?”

Jones was very kind to Roger even after he was unkind to her. She taught a lesson that no one else would have even thought about before calling the cops. She was caring to Roger and also used the golden rule to teach him to be kind to everyone around him. When Roger left Mrs. Jones, he had been taught a lesson to be kind to everyone and I think that's a good one to learn. She left an affect on him he “ wanted to say something other than “Thank you, ma’am” to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, but he couldn’t do so as he turned at the barren stoop and looked back at the large women in the door. He barely managed to say “Thank you” before she shut the door. And he never saw her

Mrs. Peters, we'll call her the antagonist, repeatedly brings up the fact that the men are only doing their job and that the law will determine Mrs. Wright's fate. Mrs. Hale, on the other hand, as the protagonist, resents the men's "sneaking" and "snooping around. Now she turns the men's stereotype of women against them. She feels guilty about not being around the Wright's farmhouse more often.
