IV. Assignment

Research these three literary devices: Foreshadowing, Flashback and Media Res.

Good Afternoon, Maam.

Yes, maam.

Maam the video is about being kind to other people.

Yes, Maam. Even though theres a tragedy especially a serious one like a storm. We always find ways to work together and help one another.

Snatch, Maam.Grimaced, Maam.Frail, Maam.Permit, Maam.Bend over, Maam.Sweat, Maam.Grab, Maam.Annoying, Maam.

The title of the story is Thank You, Maam.Mrs. Jones gave ten dollars to Roger.

The main characters were Roger and Mrs. Jones.The full name of Mrs. Jones is Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones.Roger stole the purse because he want to buy a blue suede shoes.Mrs. Joes cooked Lima beans and ham.The author of the story is Langston Hughes.The drink was cocoa.Roger wants to buy blue suede shoes.Mrs. Jones worked in a hotel beauty-shop.

Yes, I think it did change how he thinks. He might realize that you dont need to steal o get what you want.He liked the boy because she can see herself in him. If he didnt like the boy then she would not clean him up and fed him.It was unbelievable because it is not the common reaction that people do when someone try to steal their purse.I think Roger wanted to steal again but he changed his mind when they get there.I think the characters overcome some issues in their life. For Mrs. Jones it was looking back in her past and for Roger it was saying thank you for what he got and being thankful and motivated to work to achieve what he wants.It was entitled thank you because it was said by Roger for the kindness of Mrs. Jones.

The story is all about repaying bad things with kindness. You can influence anyone by just being kind.The story is about a boy who stole a ladys purse. And the reaction of the lady was unbelievable because instead of bringing the boy to the police, she fed him and gave him money.Be kind to everyone no matter what bad things other people did to you.
