Explain how he changes and\nprovide evidence from the text. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduction of\nnovel\/idea\/topic (starts with a \u201chook\u201d; define idea, quote, and interesting\nfact):<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is well understood that human beings can change as a result\nof an experience or encounter with another person. This change can happen immediately depending\non one\u2019s willingness to evolve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Background\/lead to thesis\n(introduce story, author, some but not all events): <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the story, Thank\nyou, M\u2019am, by Langston Hughes, Mrs.\nLuella Bates Washington Jones helps Roger go through an immediate change as a\nresult of her kindness, forgiveness, and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thesis statement\/Claim\/Argument\n\u2013 (answer to prompt questions):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roger\nchanges for the better as he becomes hopeful, honest, and holds himself\naccountable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n First Body Paragraph<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roger gains\na sense of hope in humanity as a result of his encounter with Mrs. Jones. When Roger tries to steal Mrs. Jones\u2019 purse,\ninstead of taking him to jail, she takes him home and shows him kindness. It is obvious that Roger has never been shown\ntrue kindness from anybody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Gives textual evidence (support 1 from reading):<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before she\nsends him off, Mrs. Jones says,\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c \u2018Now, here,\ntake this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes. And next time,\ndon\u2019t make the mistake of latching onto my pocketbook nor nobody else\u2019s\u2019 \u201d (Hughes 72). \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Explain\nquote\/Reasoning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roger is left stunned by this act of kindness.\u00a0 Mrs. Jones took him into her home, fed him, showed him a great deal of concern, and gave him the ten dollars to buy his blue suede shoes.\u00a0 Roger realizes that people can be kind and giving.\u00a0 In the case of Mrs. Jones, she responds with true kindness to a young boy who just needed to be treated well.\u00a0 Roger thanks Mrs. Jones but cannot truly express how overwhelmed he feels by her generosity so he just says, \u201cThank You\u201d but is left with a different mindset about humanity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Homework tonight is to finish the 3rd body paragraph on your graphic organizer.
