Answer:
The text that supports author's message about treating other people is:
'The woman did not ask the boy anything about where he lived, or his folks, or anything else that would embarrass him. Instead, as they ate, she told him about her job in a hotel beauty-shop that stayed open late, what the work was like, and how all kinds of women came in and out, blondes, red-heads, and Spanish. Then she cut him a half of her ten-cent cake.'
Explanation:
'Thank You M'am' is a short story written by Langston Hughes. The story is about a boy names Roger who was caught by Mrs. Jones while he was trying to steal her purse and the treatment he received after from her.
<u>The central message of the text is that people, like Roger, can learn the lesson of morality if they be taught with kindness and gentleness, as done by Mrs. Jones</u>.
<u>In the story, after Mrs. Jones caught Roger stealing her purse, she did not hand him over to the police and demand justice rather she took him to her house and fed him good food. She taught him the message of morality without punishing him but with kindness</u>.
To support this message the text from the story is provided above.
