Author’s note: I am writing a responseon “thank you m’am’ by Langston Hughes.
From his mind…
I had planned to take off full speed after grabbing the bag from the lady, but it snapped and made me fall on the ground. She kicked my butt and is now dragging me to who knows where. I am trying to get away but she is too strong. I think I am going to jail. She took me to her house! Why did she take me to her house? Now she is making me clean myself up. I could make a break for it right now but decided against it. I wonder if I will ever be free when she is actually feeding me. I tell her the truth that I just wanted to by some blue suede shoes. I can’t believe she is giving me ten dollars to buy them, and letting me go, and all I can say to her is thank you.
In this passage Roger is getting mixed messages from the woman he tried to steal from. First she takes him home and cleans him up, then she gives him money and lets him go. If I ever met a lady that nice I would want to give her a medal or some kind of token. I also think that if the world was more like her it would be a better place. Another thought going through his head would be to make something out of himself and pay her back. That is from Rogers mind.
I liked the way the 2nd paragraph described the 1st, but still you could have been a little more descriptive in the 1st paragraph of like the scene of where they where.
ReplyDeletei like rogers point of view and you did very well with it. maybe next time you could have made it longer.
ReplyDeleteRoger's POV? AWESOME!! It was a bit short however.
