Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones Analysis

“I wanted to say thank but, deep inside me wanted to say something more than thank you.” this proves roger wanting to change who he is because miss jones has changed him to be a better person. The story An American Childhood states turning points however in the text it states “I realized my parents didn’t care about what I did means im on my own.” The cause of this turning point is her parents didn’t care about what she did and it caused her to feel

Mary Jones story revealed some of Mary's medical history was a violation of privacy. The medical records were not public information unless the patient gave permission, which in this case the patient did not give permission. Since, Mary jones and the affairs did not give right for anyone to release her information. Therefore, I believe Mary Jones and doctor have a right to sue the newspaper and the reporter, because of the publication of medical

In the story “Thank You ma’am” both roger and Mrs. Jones both experience a feeling. With roger he gets shown what

Clarisse Precious Jones is a 16-year-old African American girl living in a low income neighborhood in Las Vegas, NV with her physically, emotionally, and sexually abusive parents. Precious has been physically and sexually abused/raped by her father since the age of 3 and has been pregnant as a result of the rape. Precious is currently pregnant with her second child, while she has also given birth once prior to a now 6-years-old girl that suffers from Down Syndrome, named Mongoloid Jones. On both occasions, Precious became pregnant as a result of the rape. In addition, Precious has been subject to emotional and physical abuse by her mother, Mary Jones who is unemployed and on welfare support. In an attempt to get on welfare herself, Precious

Jones is generous as she provides him with a meal and a small amount of money for the shoes he wanted to buy. The old lady knows that  without an adult, there would be no one to guide him and point out his mistakes and failures that will come along his way. The old lady helped Roger to learn from his mistakes as he was grateful for the time he had shared with her. A quote from the text is, “ But I wish you would behave yourself, son, from here on in.”  As an orphan , she gave him the opportunity for redemption rather than punishing him. Finally, Roger does not know how to thank her or repay her  back, but one thing is for sure, she should feel proud for making someone feel so blessed when their world feels empty.

My first evidence for this claim is the quote, “Well you didn’t have to snatch my pocket book to get some suede shoes,” said Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. “You could have asked me.” (page 5, lines 96-98) Which proves that the reason why Mrs. Luella takes Roger home is because she wants to teach him how to be selfless not selfish. There are several keywords that prove my claim such as

Mrs. Luella Bates Washington changes Roger life for the better. She had an impact on Roger that if not met, when they did he would not do the thing he had did now Roger want was shoes but then again he also wants her to trust him. Mrs. Jones had effect on him but I think he also had effect on her as well.

Mrs. Luella Bates Jones Washington was not like every other woman in the city. She was determined to stand up for her rights and the rights of others. Everyone knew her as a caring, independent, and outgoing woman. When she was a little her family was considered poor. They barely had enough money to place a decent amount of food on the table each night. As a child, she remembered that her family was so desperate for money that she decided to take action. Mrs. Luella always made sure that she knew that she had been doing right. If someone were to violate someone’s rights, then she would defend the victim, from the action do-er.

Mrs. Jones kindness to Roger changes him by knowing he can trust people. Mrs. Jones showed kindness by taking him in to get cleaned up. On page 32-33 it quoted “you go to the sink and wash your face“. And she also feat him. She wanted Roger to trust her and he also wanted her to trust him. And another way she wanted to gain his trust is when she left her purse on the couch to see if he was going to take it. On page 32 she quoted “run that comb through your hair so you will look presentable”. That is another way she wanted to show kindness so he won’t look bad. And at the end Mrs. Jones gave Roger $10 to buy the blue suede shoes he wanted. I think he changed by gaining Mrs. Jones trust and gained respect for her. So now he probably won’t steal

Ms. Jones is a 20-year-old bisexual Caucasian female who lives in Houston, Texas with her parents and is a full time undergraduate student, studying chemistry at the University of Houston. Ms. Jones, currently has no diagnosis and is only seeing a physician for her panic attack symptoms. She has been experiencing increased worry, anxiety, and physiological arousal symptoms culminating in her presenting to her general physician with her concern regarding the increased frequency and duration of her panic attack symptoms. Ms. Jones was referred for psychological assessment by Ralph Summers, M.D. from Summers Family Clinic to inform differential diagnosis and facilitate treatment planning. Dr. Summers has requested consideration of specific diagnoses,

I think her kindness changed because it showed him that stealing can get you beat up, and also put in the dirt. So I think he changed because he knows that if he want something just ask for it. Another reason is that I think he might go back to stealing again because he only tried it once. Also he could try to steal from her again a year later. So Roger won’t change his ways but change the way he steals. On page 32 it quotes that Roger said,’’ there’s nobody home at my ‘’house. So I think that’s why he steals on page 31 the boy said,” I didn’t aim

Roger changed because of how he was thinking about running to being so trustful and good. On page 32 it says he could make a dash for it down the hall because, the door was open. Then, Roger and Mrs. Jones were trying to win each other trust. On page 32it say that he did not trust the woman not to trust him. And he did not want to be mistrusted now. On page 32-33 it says that “Do you need somebody to go to the store,” asked the boy, “Maybe to get some milk or

In the text, Roger tried to steal a purse from a lady but he couldn’t. The lady in the story is Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Jones took Roger to her house and made him wash his face and fed him. When she did that Roger felt good about her because he felt that she care about him. Many people don’t have people or family to care about them but she made it look like she cared about him. Roger was poor and you can tell because of how he dresses. Mrs. Jones was very nice to him and I think that her kindness made him change a lot. I say that because in the text once he got outside he ran in joy with the money. From my hypothesis I think that he is going to ask people for things instead of stealing. The last thing is he is very shy because in the story he said

What comes to mind when you hear the word lottery? Do the words money or luck pop in your head? This is not the case in a small village that has a special kind of “lottery”. However the catch is that whoever wins this so called “lottery” is sacrificed so the village can have good crops in the following fall. In the story there are two characters, Tessie hutchinson and Mrs. delacroix, that change their attitude and show two sides of humanity.

Jones house, Roger can see that Mrs. Jones did not appear to own as much as Roger assumed she had (Hughes). This teaches Roger that appearances are not everything they seem, as well as that other people have struggles too. While talking to each other, Mrs. Jones learns that Roger tried to steal her purse because he wanted to buy some blue shoes (Hughes). Roger could not purchase the shoes because he does not have a family that supports him and is able to care for him (Hughes). When Roger tells Mrs. Jones this, it is embarrassing and difficult for him, because he does not like to talk about his troubles (Hughes). Mrs. Jones connects with Roger’s struggles and decided to share some of her past with him (Hughes). Mrs. Jones tells Roger that she used to be just like Roger was (Hughes). This shocks Roger because he had expected her to say that she never did that as a kid. This part of the story shows that not everyone was how Roger thought they were
