“Thank You, Ma’am” by Langston Hughes is a young delinquent named Roger and a woman named Luella Bates Washington Jones who takes him in after he attempts to steal from her. Throughout the story, the woman shows kindness towards Roger even though he tried to steal her purse. This causes him to have a change of heart and realize his mistakes toward the end of the story. He is comforted by Luella as she gives him advice and feeds him. She also lets him wash up in her house. In addition, she talks to him about her childhood. She tells him that she was like him as a child.

From the moment he got caught stealing from her, it was made clear that he showed her manners. Later into the story, Roger develops a sense of trust for her. He also becomes more polite. When Luella mentions that he was probably hungry to have tried to steal her pocketbook, he tells her it was because he wanted a pair of blue suede shoes. He also tells Luella there is no one at his home. This reveals to the reader how Roger is not inherently a bad person and has learned from his mistakes by the end of the story. This also shows how Roger’s character develops throughout the story.

If ray bradbury was alive today how do you think he would feel about technology?
Mice21 [21]
Ray Bradbury was always scared of the future. Books that he wrote including the Pedestrian and Fahrenheit 451, were about the future and what it will become. I believe that if Ray Bradbury were alive today, he would feel very strongly about limiting our use of technology.

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)

Which type of punctuation signals the reader that words from a direct quotation have been changed by the writer?
Alex777 [14]
Brackets. in quotes, square brackets show that the writer changed the original source. you might use them to change an ambiguous pronoun (such as "he" or "they") to a specific person or group (such as "abraham lincoln" or "school teachers"). they're also used to modify the phrasing of the original source to fit your sentence, such as changing a verb from from present tense to past tense.

I think its " Endless "

Explanation:

Explanations are hard with questions like context but Ill try my best.

Endless is a close enough synonym for Immeasurable, since both words describe something that's either out of reach or never-ending

Im sorry if Im wrong.

Marji idolizes the fathers of these two friends for being heroes:
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Uncle anoosh

Explanation:

Where to start with Uncle Anoosh? He fills in pieces of Marji's family history, and his experiences come across to her as entertaining and heroic. He begins by telling her of his experience with Uncle Fereydoon. Fereydoon and his friends liberated the northwestern Iranian province of Azerbaijan from the influences of the shah. (This is not to be confused with, at that time, the Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan). After his success, Anoosh asks to work with Fereydoon. When he goes, he notices that Fereydoon has been arrested. Anoosh flees to his family's home. Realizing that he cannot stay there, he is forced to flee to the Soviet Union.

Anoosh earns a doctorate in Marxism-Leninism during his stay in Moscow and Leningrad. This course of study clearly indicates that he is a communist. While in the Soviet Union, he marries a Russian woman, and they have two children together. Unfortunately, things between them do not work out and they divorce. Having no further reason to stay in the Soviet Union, he attempts to go back home to Iran to see his family. While passing through border security, he is recognized and immediately arrested.
