The major theme of Thank you, M'am is kindness and trust can bring positive change in an individual. In 1 or 2 well constructed

k0ka [10]

Answer:

One theme in Thank you, Ma'am is the power of compassion. After nearly having her purse stolen by Roger, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones has every right to turn toward him in anger and even demand some form of justice. However, she meets Roger with compassion, going so far as to open her home to him. Mrs. Jones has a keen perception about Roger's circumstances, and when he tells her, "There's nobody home at my house," Mrs. Jones provides a meal to this wold-be thief.

The story ends with the note that Roger "want[s] to say something else other than 'Thank you, m'am'" for the compassion he's been shown, and although it is noted that the paths of these two never cross again, it seems that Mrs. Jones has given Roger a reason to choose a different path in life.

Another theme is that human strength can be found in unlikely places. Roger certainly doesn't choose a "victim" who he thinks will put up a fight. Not only does Mrs. Jones retain possession of her purse, she also effectively takes control of the situation:But the boy's weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance so, instead of taking off full blast as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk, and his legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him right square in his blue-jeaned sitter. Then she reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled.

Furthermore, she chastises the boy and questions whether he's ashamed of himself. Roger underestimates the wrong lady, and Mrs. Jones proves herself a fearless adversary when attacked.

Finally, in the fallout of an attempted mugging, this story explores one final theme: the duality of trust. Mrs. Jones has to extend trust to invite Roger into her home. Likewise, Roger has to extend trust to allow himself to be led away into her home and to remain there when he realizes that he has the opportunity to bolt. In order to mend relationships and society at large, people must extend trust to each other, even in difficult situations.

Essay 350 A trip you will never forget.

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

I woke up on Sunday the 2nd of May 2010, so full of excitement. It was still very early in the morning, but all of my excitement kept me awake.

Our flight to Brisbane from Rockhampton was at 2:00pm that afternoon. It seemed to take so long. While I was waiting, I checked I had packed everything. Being far away from home you need to remember everything.

2:00pm came eventually. We drove to the airport, we were all very excited. I remember sitting down in the airport and hearing “Those boarding Qf2357, please make your way through security”. I leapt out of my seat so eager to get on the plane.

By the end of the day we were all settled in our Hotel in Brisbane. The next morning I got woke up hearing “Come on Kiddies we are going to Los Angles, USA, get up and get ready. That morning was the quickest I ever seen anyone get out of bed.

We got ready had breakfast, and were at the airport soon after.

When we arrived in Los Angles, we went to a cafe for breakfast; they serve huge amounts over there.

While we were there we went to Disney land for 4 days! That was so much fun. We also went to Denny’s, their food is so yummy! I could eat it all day.

Next we flew to New York, such an amazing place, with so much history. It was very fun; we visited the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Time Square, and Central park.

For the first time in my life I saw a squirrel! It was so exciting.

After a few day’s we flew to Washington DC, where we saw the White House and Lincoln Memorial. It was so fun.

Soon we flew to Toronto, Canada. “What a lovely place”, Mum said. We all wish we had more that 3 days here. In Toronto we went to Niagara Falls. Such an amazing site! Toronto was one of my favorite's.

Our last flight in America was to Chicago. That is where Mum and Dad hired a car. We drove on the freeway. It was quite scary, but we got used to it after awhile. In Chicago we met up with some friends and drove Route 66 back to Los Angles.

From there we flew back home on the 3rd of June to Australia.

A trip I’ll never forget.
