Thank You Ma'am-From her mind

Author's Note: This is a piece showing what the women was thinking during "Thank You Ma'am", by Langston Hughes. From her mind....


I worked late tonight just ready to get home and eat some dinner. What's that. Hey, my pocketbook! The thief fell down. Good thing it's heavier than this boy. I kick him "right square in his blue-jeaned sitter." He probably not more than 14. I pick him up and now am face to face with this boy. All I am thinking what is wrong with this boy. I am so angry at this boy, people are watching and I don't care. Maybe I should change the way this boy thinks. Yeah, I will take him back to my place right now.


In this piece the lady didn't seem like the victim. She didn't seem scared of the boy. She also didn't the cops, all she did was kick him and turned him into the victim. At most she was angry. Once she started dragging the boy I think that Roger most likely regretted ever take the chance of stealing the pocketbook.
