Thank You Ma Am Dialectical Journal

Dillard's purpose in this narrative is to encourage adults to be more tolerant of children who get into trouble. Dillard wants adults to look back and remember all the fun they had as kids and to remember how much trouble they got into also. Dillard uses the man who chased her as an example. The man chased them, for what seemed forever, but he didn't get mad at them or lecture them, he just caught them and said "You stupid kids" and let them go.

In a short amount of time, Mrs. Jones had a long lasting impact on Roger. The old lady gave him another chance to prove himself to show that he is better than being a thief, but it is up to him to decide if he will learn from his mistake or continue to make them. Mrs. Jones had been  his confidante whose guidance had helped him to realize that kindness and respect are the two important traits for human being to prosper in

Paragraph 1 tone : He seems nervous about this trip He says ,“We’ve all been up since midnight, starting our predive checks after a couple of restless hours of sleep, and the whole team is running on adrenaline. These are the roughest conditions I’ve dived in so far on the expedition” The way he says that they’ve been up the whole night doing checks without sleep and how this is one of the roughest conditions he has dived in so far just gives the sense of nervousness if he will make the challenge.

“But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.” “In fact,” said Mustapha Mond, “you’re claiming the right to be unhappy.” “All right then,” said the Savage defiantly, “I’m claiming the right to be unhappy,” This significant quote from Brave New World had moved innumerable readers’ heart, so do I. Exaggeration? No. It’s the satire to the false meaning of the universal happiness, and it’s this quote which made me had rethink what do I really want and the way of living I want to choose. Because the deep influence and rumination brought by the book, I would like to say

1) “They carried the soldier’s greatest fear, which was the fear of blushing. Men killed, and died, because they were embarrassed not to. It was what had brought them to the war in the first place, nothing positive, no dreams of glory or honor, just to avoid the blush of dishonor. They died so as not to die of embarrassment” (O’Brien 20).

Chapter 4 was insightful in public opinion, because there is a lot to say about it. The political socialization unit was something we all know, but it also allows time to look into the lense of children, I looked at this more intently because I am taking a juvenile delinquency course and we read about exposure to environments as well as the family molding a child is very impactful.

A major way the author integrates this theme into the reading is when Jim Casy is determined to give himself up for Tom. After Tom trips a police officer, Casy kicks the police officer in the neck to knock him out. Casy is aware the officer will not be out much longer and suggests that Tom should get out of there. Tom is skeptical of Casy’s offer to run but Casy brings Tom’s family back to his attention, “Somebody got to take the blame. I got no kids. They’ll jus’ put me in jail, an’ I ain’t doin’ nothin’ but set

The desk was dimly illuminated by the lamp and Count Valsroom couldn't clearly see the lines on the map, but he didn't need to see them. The map displayed Eastmark and the southern Isles' provinces which surrounded it. He knew the terrain by heart. He had studied it a lot of times during the southern Isles'army maneuvers, getting ready for what had finally happened. And now, he was using all his skill to devise a plan to smash Eastmark's rebellion.

I think Mrs.Jones handles the situation the way she did because she wants to teach Rodger a lesson. The lesson to this story is simple, you don’t have to steal for what you want. She wanted to teach Rodger that no matter what stealing isn’t the answer. In the story she told him to just ask for what he wants instead of trying to steal. She is trying to accomplish the goal of teaching him that doing wrong is never right. Stealing is wrong and even thought his parents neglect him, stealing for a new pair of shoes is never right. I think this experience will affect Rodger because now he understands that what he did is wrong and he is not likely to do it again. Even though he tried to steal from her she still feed him and gave him money for his

Mrs. Jones put a lot on Rogers’s life when she took him in after he tried to steal her purse. When Mrs. Jones showed kindness to roger but deep inside it changed him because when she got him he was rude. He was rude because he would to her like when Mrs. Jones said “why did you try to steal my purse?” He lied and said “I didn’t aim to.” And he did which made it a lie. When she finally took him home and cleaned him up he felt guilty and became more polite. After they got done eating and she gave him money I think she changed him deep inside because he didn’t know manners until that night because when she told him goodnight and went to bed he was too embarrassed to say anything until he finally turned around and said “thank you , ma’am.” That’s

She lets him know that she can relate to him, but stealing isn’t the answer to his problems. She actually feels sorry for him and gives him the money he was trying to steal, and sends him on his way confused. She tells him if wants something just ask for it. By the end of the story, Roger wants Mrs. Jones to trust him. Mrs. Jones hopes that he has learned a valuable lesson and doesn’t do this again.

Mrs.Jones is a compassionate woman who is showing a boy kindness and respect to serve a great purpose to him for the rest of his life. Mrs. Jones was aware that Roger was no thief, he was just a boy who need some parenting. “You ought to be my son. I would teach you right from wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face.” This explains how Mrs.Jones was going to teach Roger to own up to his mistakes and prevent from doing them again. Once Mrs.Jones had done enough parenting to Roger, he certainly wouldn’t forget. “If you think that contact is not going to last awhile, you got another thought coming. When I get through with you, sir, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.” Mrs.Jones would certainly teach Roger

Jones shows Roger forgiveness and gives him a second chance at life. After Roger told Mrs. Jones why he attempts to steal her pocketbook, she felt as if he should have asked her for money instead of trying to take it. Mrs. Jones stated, “I were young once and I wanted things I could not get.” Mrs. Jones as a child was poor growing up similar to Roger, but she did not run around trying to steal purses to support her lifestyle only hard work. Also, she stated, “I have done things, too, which I would not tell you, son-

In the beginning of the story, Ms. Jones was really rough on him because he stole her purse. She made him pick up her purse while she held onto him so then he can give it back to her.

Jones is tough. I think Mrs. Jones is tough because when Roger tried to steal Mrs. Jones’ purse she kicked right in the “square jean sitter” which you would have to be pretty mean to do that to a little kid. Furthermore, after Mrs. Jones kicked Roger in the “square jean sitter” Mrs. Jones, “Then she reached down, picked up the boy by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled.” Mrs. Jones shook Roger real hard, you probably have to be pretty to shake someone that hard. Thirdly, Mrs, Jones dragged Roger from where they were standing, up the street and into her house. That probably was a long way and if Roger is thirteen or fourteen he night be kind of heavy.
