The story thank you Ma’am was focused to a boy named Roger and a woman named Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones who crossed their way on a road at about eleven o’clock in the night. The story began when Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones walked alone on a road when a boy tried to snatch her purse. Upon reading this story, we will wonder what will be Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones response to the boy’s behavior.
It is really good to read this material because we will enjoy and know an experience that gives a valuable lesson which we can apply to our lives. The situation when the boy tried to snatch the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was not new to us. This often happened nowadays mostly in urban areas. But one thing I can’t believe is that there was a person or someone who acted kindly. Usually our first and fore most reaction to the situation, we get angry to them when we found that they were bad. Yes, at first, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones got angry but after all, she was very kind to the boy instead of giving him some harsh punishment. Every adult has the right to teach those younger ones- the right from wrong. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones has done a great part of leading the boy to the right path. For me, giving a special treatment is an effective method of punishment and one way to correct a child. It will also help the boy realize that what he did was wrong, in a pleasing way.
Roger told Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones that he tried to steal her purse in order for him to have and buy a blue suede shoes. Then she replied, “Well you don’t have to snatch my pocketbook … You could have just asked me”. A comment to this situation, it is right that you may ask rather than to steal, but not at all times. If so, the boy will just ask to have whatever he wants and then may become lazy at all. We have been blessed by God knowledge and ability to work and to use it throughout our lives. There are many ways in which Roger can earned money to have a blue suede shoes. In stating her weakness in life, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones can be the inspiration of Roger that even life is complicated, in order for him to withstand. He must strive hard and be like Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. Mrs. Jones did some tricks to test whether Roger can be trusted and that was a great idea. She found out that he was so. 
I can relate this story to my real life. All of us have sinned. As a daughter, there were times that I can disobey my parents; I can break the rules at home. But my parents are patiently there, ready to help me correct and realized my mistakes. Like Roger, I should trust my parents, who play a big role to discipline me, take care of me and nurture me to be as fine as Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.
