Thank You Ma'am.

Mr.Romero, please grade me on my transitions and my details. gracias :)



"Was I bothering you when I turned that corner?" were the words a very large woman said to a boy that was rather smaller than her. Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones and Roger, the two main characters from the story "Thank You Ma'am" written by Langston Hughes. As you read this essay you will notice a lot of different things going on that I never noticed myself. You will also hear a lot about the two main characters. So pay close attention as I guide you through.


First off is Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones, how could you miss her. She's just like your typical next door neighbor lady. She's tough and some say she's mean, but she also has a nice side to her. Some say she's a priest, who baptizes people. Ms.Jones is not someone you would want to steal from. Yes she is old, but don't think old ladies can't defend themselves because they can. You can't judge a book by its cover.


Next is Roger. A skinny young boy, who wants to fit in with the crowd. He thinks that stealing an older ladies bag is a nice way of buying what he wants. Well bad news its not, because Roger messed with the wrong lady. Of course that lady was Ms.Luella Bates Washington Jones, who put Roger in his place. Which is good because now he will learn his lesson, and stop trying to fit in with everyone else and be his own person.


In addititon to all this, I think this story teaches a lesson in many ways. I hope you  enjoyed this little trip through my essay of "Thank You Ma'am". I know that you have noticed a lot of things, also like I did. Remember you don't have to fit in with the crowd to be cool.
