Thank you, Ma'm by Langston Hughes

This sotry was very interesting. The fact that the elderly lady was able to defend herself was great. Not alot of elderly people can do that. On the other hand in the story instead of running away or calling the cops like most people would do, she drag's him to her house, wash his face and gave him food. Knowing that she did some bad things in her past as well. She asked him why he tried to rob her and after he gave her the reason. After she heard what he said she gave him the 10 dollars so he can buy his sueade shoes. I wonder what would have happened if she called the cops. What would have Roger life been like? what was Roger life like after he got the sueade shoes?
