Answer:

The story of "Thank You, Ma'am" by Langston Hughes tells how a young boy's attempts to steal from a woman failed and how that same woman helped him by cleaning and feeding him.

Explanation:

Roger wanted a pair of new blue suede shoes. So, he decided to steal money from people who are rich, or looked rich to him. But when Roger snatched the pocketbook from Mrs. Jones' shoulders that night, she asked him why he wanted to steal it from her to which he replied that it was for that shoes.

When she heard about his reason, Mrs. Jones told him that he can simply ask her for it rather than do the act of stealing from anyone which is a bad thing. This response from someone who he never know and the person he failed to steal from shocked Roger. This is evident in the narration where the speaker states "<em>The water dripping from his face, the boy looked at her. There was a long pause. A very long  pause.</em>"

Her words shocked her, for he couldn't think anyone who had just been a victim would actually offer to give or help her attacker. By the end of the story, he got the ten dollars to buy the suede shoes to which he could barely utter "<em>Thank You, Ma'am</em>" to her.

Pronouns are words used to refer to things or people. They are have three different forms depending on how they are used in a sentence.

The three forms of pronouns are objective, nominative, and possessive.

Objective pronoun is used in a sentence when its function in a sentence is that of a subject or predicate. Few objective pronouns are I, you, he, she, it (singular) and you, they, we (plural).

Nominative pronoun is used in a sentence when the pronoun functions as a direct or indirect object, or also, the object of preposition. Some nominative pronouns are you, her, him, me, it (singular) and you, us, them (plural).

Lastly, a possessive pronoun is used as a way to portray ownership or possession such as mine, your, my, her, his (singular) and our, your, their (plural).

We are sending blankets and winter clothes to the earthquake victims we know, Katherine and her is the correct sentence.

In the above sentence, "her" is an objective pronoun because it serves the function of a direct object.
