The lesson I learned from "Thank You Ma'am" by Langston Hughes is to treat others the way you want to be treated. After the boy attempted to steal Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones purse, instead of showing anger towards the boy, she showed kindness, forgiveness, and trust.
She demonstrated forgiveness when she invited Roger into her home so he could wash his face. She demonstrated kindness when she gave him $10 so Roger could buy the blue suede shoes. Mrs. Jones demonstrated trust in the scene when they were at her house, she left the door open with Roger and her purse out of sight.
Mrs. Jones is a great example of a truly good person. She admitted that she has messed up in her past, she forgave the very person that attempted to steal from her, and she gave him food, a small amount of money and washed his face. If only there were more people like Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.
you had really good organization, but you need to work on your author's note, but good overall
