“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.
The major difference between the text and the image is that the text focuses on characters, while the image focuses on the setting.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The text attempts to show some of the characters that are present in the plot. The crew, as explained in the text, seem to be sulking due to their failed attempt at catching fishes on that particular day.
Furthermore, their captain yet reminds them that they shall be getting their share of the money based on the number of fishes they catch.
These particulars depict the characters that are present in the plot and their state of mind at that time.
Contrary to that, the image that is shown is that of a ship caught up in a mighty storm, showing the setting of the ship, and not the of the character's that are present in the ship
Hence this is the difference between the text and the image.
Every paragraph should have (1)a topic sentence, (3)unity, and (4) coherence.
Technically the writer should review his work fix errors say if you are typing a paper u should check for punctuation and spelling errors.Then make your ideas to were they can be understood if you were explaining to someone else... Hope helped (I'm retired teacher).
