Ans. Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones said to Roger in Langston Hughes’s short story ‘Thank You Ma’am’.
Mrs Bates said this when she was dragging the boy on the street after he was caught red-handed for snatching her purse.
Mrs Jones brought Roger home. She behaved normally with Roger and gave him a homely atmosphere. She asked him to wash his face and dry it with a clean towel. She shared his personal experience. When she was young, she wanted many things but she could not get them. Yet she did not snatch people’s pocketbooks. Like a moral teacher, she tried to transfer the boy. She fed the boy with motherly care. At last, he gave the boy ten dollars for the shoes and advised that shoes got by the devilish way would burn his feet. In this way, he tried to transform Roger.

Mrs Jones replied that she would take him nowhere with that face.
4)What had Mrs. Jones guessed to be the real reason behind Roger’s action? What was the real reason? What did Mrs Jones do so that Roger could fulfil his wish? What did she tell him then? [1+1+1+3 = 6] [H.S. = 2020]

6)What features of the character of Mrs Luella Bates are exposed in the short story “Thank You Ma’am”?
Ans. ‘A strong woman with a soft heart’ is what characterises Mrs Jones. At the very beginning, when the boy tries to snatch away her purse, Mrs Jones catches the boy red-handed. Instead of calling the police, she takes the boy home. There she makes him wash his face, combs his hair to make him look presentable and feeds him. She even gives him ten dollars to buy the pair of blue suede shoes for which he attempted to steal her purse. Such an incredible act of generosity is aptly followed by her friendly, good piece of advice to Roger that he should prohibit himself from indulging in any kind of unfair means. The lesson that she learnt from her earlier mistakes, helped her make the boy understand that achieving something through hard work is much more satisfactory than gaining it by stealing. She did not intend to embarrass the boy by asking about his past. Instead, she wanted to enlighten him by presenting the example of her own life. In place of hating Roger for getting carried away, like an empathetic mother she tried to reform the boy.
