When great teachers are mentioned, most people think of biology instructors, football  coaches, Girl Scout leaders, and others in similar positions. However, some of the greatest teachers  may be individuals not normally classified as teachers. Roger, a character in the short story “Thank

You, M’am” by Langston Hughes, encounters such an unusual teacher on a city sidewalk. Because

she is a fearless, trustful, and generous woman, Mrs. Jones teaches Roger a lesson he will remember.

Roger is a would-be thief. At about eleven o’clock one night, he runs up behind Mrs. Jones

and tries to snatch her purse. When he falls down on the sidewalk, Mrs. Jones “simply turned around

and kicked him right square in his blue jeaned sitter” (78). While some women would have avoided

confrontation with a stranger under similar circumstances, Mrs. Jones does not. She shook Roger

“until his teeth rattled” and then demanded, “Pick up my pocketbook boy, and give it here” (78).

Mrs. Jones shows no fear in her encounter with Roger.

Not only does Mrs. Jones display courage, but she also proves to be a trusting person. She

decides that Roger needs to wash and to eat and that she will take him to her home in order to do so.

“I got a great mind to wash your face for you,” (78) she tells Roger. “You ought to be my son. I

would teach you right from wrong. Least I can do right now is to wash your face. Are you hungry?”

(78). In just a few words, she assumes the role of a teacher and a mother substitute. She not only

takes Roger home but she also continues to display a trusting nature once they arrive. When she gets

up to prepare supper, Mrs. Jones “did not watch the boy to see if he was going to run now, nor did

she watch her purse which she left behind her on the daybed” (79). Roger begins to respond to Mrs.

Jones in a positive way. Hughes tells the readers that Roger “did not want to be mistrusted now”

(79). Her trust in Roger is beginning to create a relationship between them.

Mrs. Jones’s generosity to Roger extends beyond her sharing a meal with him. Roger tells

her that he tried to steal her purse in order to get money for a pair of blue suede shoes. Mrs. Jones  

then does a remarkable thing. She takes money from her purse and says, “Now here, take this ten

dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes. And next time, do not make the mistake of latching

onto my pocketbook nor nobody else’s—because shoes come by devilish like that will burn your

feet” (78). She bids him goodnight, and Roger wants to express his gratitude but cannot find words

more eloquent than a simple “thank you.” However, Hughes leaves the readers with the definite

impression that Roger has been profoundly touched by the generosity of Mrs. Jones.

Some teachers are brilliant instructors due to their superior education. Others make excellent

teachers because they are adept as communicators. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones emerges not

from a university but rather from a hotel beauty shop to become Roger’s teacher. Her courage, trust,

and generosity communicate more to Roger than mere words ever could.

What are some ideas about why children should not be brought up vegan
Arisa [49]
Going vegan takes a lot of responsibility. The vitamins that meat give you won't be present to you. You need to control your vitamins, nutrients, and your overall health. If you're just eating salad and fruit bowls. Your body won't get any of the vitami9ns or nutrients it needs. Although, veggies are good for you. You can't eat them alone.
