The colomber pursued him because he wanted to give him a pearl from the sea. It is believed that this pearl gives the bearer good luck, which is opposite of what the sailors were saying as they were claiming that someone on the ship was doomed and that it was bad luck.

In "The Colomber" by Dino Buzzati, Stefano Roi sees "the colomber," a fish that, according to his father, with haunt him his whole life and could only be seen by him and his family.

Stefano is sent to an inland school by his father to avoid the threat of the fish. After his father dies, he becomes a great sailor and succedes in avoiding the fish for fifty years.

When he is old, he decides that he wants to meet the fish face to face so he takes a small boat and finally encounters the animal. However, the colomber explains that he never meant any harm to Stefano and gives him a pearl that is supposed to bring good luck to his bearer.

In "Thank You, M'am" what similarly between roger and Mrs.Jones does mention?
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Both Roger and Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones are African Americans, who share similar backgrounds and come from poor homes. Through Roger's comments, one can surmise that he comes from a broken, poverty-stricken home, where he is forced to provide and take care of himself, which explains why he is dirty, hungry, and desperate for money. After Mrs. Jones drags Roger back to her home and makes him a warm plate of food, she explains to Roger that she understands what it feels like to want something that she cannot afford. Mrs. Jones then admits that she too made poor decisions in her youth and committed crimes that she is not proud of, which is another similarity that she shares with Roger. However, she does make it a point to say that she never snatch anybody's pocketbook before. Mrs. Jones's shared race and socioeconomic background allow her to sympathize and bond with Roger, who respects and appreciates her kindness and benevolence.
