A Clean well Lighted place respnse

the angles in the story were so blank and made me not want to watch it because we have a short attention span. The music made scenes more dramatic, such as when the old guy walks out of the café. That part made me sad and made me want to give the old guy a hug.

The younger waiter was very mean to the old guy which also made me want to give him a hug.  The waiter told him he should have killed himself last week. Which was not a very nice thing to say even though he is deaf, it’s still mean. 

Sellfish

The young waiter reminds me of someone that I know that is not a very good person because he lives with his mom and he does bad things like steal stuff. He also yells at his mom and takes money from her because he doesn't have a job.

Thank you Ma'am

Authors Note: This piece is a text analysis about the story "Thank you Ma'am", Talking about faith and trust.

If you want a story with faith and trust, “Thank you Ma’am” is the story to read. During the story “Thank you Ma’am” Roger attempts to steal money from a large women, but the women stops him and brings him to her home where he cleans his face gets dinner and some money for the blue suede shoes he was dying to get. Faith and trust are two major themes in this story for many reasons.

“Thank you Ma’am” is a story that could treat you a life lesson about trust. An example of trust would be,  Roger is  a fourteen year old boy that was trying to get some blue suede shoes at a store. So he tries to steal money from a lady, but the lady catches him and brings him to her home. There he had many chances to leave but he didn't because he started to have trust in her, such as her feeding Roger because there is no one at his house to feed him.

Another reason, she also gave him money to get some groceries from the store for her, he easily could have taken the money and bought those blue suede shoes he wanted so badly, but he didn't because he doesn't want to be distrusted. Besides the trust between these two people there faith is also growing.

Faith between Roger and the lady began to grow stronger also. Roger had started to think that the lady wasn't so mean after all. She began to help him instead of yelling at him. She got him to clean his face, she fed him dinner, and gave him money to get the blue suede shoes. The end of the story he doesn't see her ever again and he could barely say thank you for all the stuff she did for him.

“Thank you Ma’am” is a great story to read about faith and trust because they show so much of it throughout the story. If he didn't try to steal the money and just asked her she would have gave it to Roger, because she knows what it was like to be a kid. Trust and faith are two major themes in this story.

Important Quote: Ransom and the Red Chief

"Red Chief," says I to the kid, "would you like to go home?" "Aw, what for?" Says he. This quote is a important quote because the kid is saying he doesn’t want to go home even though he got kidnapped. When the kid said that the story got a little confusing because he got kidnapped, like seriously who would want to get kidnapped and then say no I don’t want to go home.
