Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones
469 Jones Ave.
New York,
United States of America luellajones@outlook.com Dear Mrs. Jones,

I know I never got the chance to say it, but I just wanted to thank you for giving me the ten dollars for the blue suede shoes. At that moment, I was just too shocked to say it because I really thought you were going to knock the senses out of me. That is not all I wanted to say though, I also want to say that I am truly sorry for trying to snatch your purse. I never saw you again so I never got to tell you but I am really sorry and regret what I did.

I want to let you know that I have learnt my lesson after that meeting you. I have never stolen anything again. Actually, every time I see someone carrying a pocketbook, it reminds me of you. I have always wanted to write to you but I was ashamed of myself. I have now pick up the courage and wanted to let you know that I have found myself a job at the supermarket. The manager said I was a little young but they needed help so he hired me. That was almost four to five months ago, and now I am also taking a course in a football college, something I thought I would never do. I listened to you and went on to follow my dreams.

I never really thought that I would go to college but that my life would go down the drain. I never anticipated going to college let alone becoming a professional football player. I have been told that I am actually pretty good. In a sense, I am glad that I tried to steal your purse... well not for you, but for me, though, the kick in the blue jean sitter was really painful I must say. If I had never tried to steal your

    In the short story “Thank You M’am”, by Langston Hughs, the main protagonist, Mrs. Jones, presents herself as an agressive woman, but as the story progresses, she is revealed as a motherly figure. When Roger “[tries] to snatch [her] purse” and she “[kicks] [him]”(1), she gives off an assertive and scary vibe. Mrs. Jones doesn’t want Roger to be let off easy so she exerts her strength on him. She realizes that she needs to teach Roger a lesson and better morals. However, when she “[drags] the boy inside […] and into a large kitchenette-furnished room”(2) and tells him to “go to that sink and wash [his] face”(2), Mrs. Jones shows a more maternal side. Her maternal insticts start to shine through her forceful personality when she learns Roger…

    Dr Fay Letters Monologue

    OVERALL IMPRESSION: It is a really well crafted story that grabs my attention from beginning all the way to the end. You don’t give any time for the “viewers” to be bored as we are thrown right into the thick of things from the get go, first the surgery of Freeman and a few scenes after she’s in the war. I also believe that you created a living breathing world of the war, or more specifically the hospital in the war. The way the injured soldiers react to Dr. Murdoch all contribute to the feeling of the world. You could maybe possibly cut to what’s going on in the actual war, and show how the soldiers get injured? I think that will add just another level to this already brilliant story, but not really necessary.…

    Jim just won the big fight that Joe had got him. He won $250! I was sure that something would go wrong, and Jimmy wouldn’t have come home to us safely. His hand had just healed and Joe came marching in getting him a new fight! Although they promised it was just a one-time thing, I have my doubts. I just don’t want Jimmy fighting anymore. We can’t afford it! Everything is bad enough without having to worry about Jim’s health or – god forbid – losing him! Jimmy really believes in President Roosevelt fixing things, but we all have our doubts that he is any different than Hoover. When we lost all of our money with what Jim had invested from his boxing earnings into what we thought was safe in the stock market, we lost everything. We had to move to a poor neighborhood, crammed in with everyone else from the community. I should be thankful though; at least we haven’t been forced to move into a Hooverville! I don’t think I could survive there, let alone bring Jay, Howard, and Rosemarie into that kind of danger! I hear all the time about riots and fires that burst out there. That kind of danger is scary just to imagine. I feel like once you move into one of those shanties, there is no hope of ever coming out of this mess.…

    In chapters four through seven, Nathaniel Hawthorne uses a plethora of rhetorical strategies to convey his purpose of emphasizing the character’s opinions and also to describe what is taking place in the particular chapter. In chapter four, there are many times when Hawthorne uses parallelism to emphasize the character’s opinions. For instance on page 51, paragraph one, Hawthorne quotes Roger Chillingworth using parallelism, “…in the eyes of men and women, -in the eyes of him whom thou didst call thy husband, -in the eyes of yonder child!” To emphasize Roger’s opinion, Hawthorne uses the phrase, “in the eyes”, one after the other, so the reader can understand how he feels that it is an appropriate punishment for Hester to wear the ‘A’ for the whole world to see.…

    First off I want to start off with how proud I am to be your daughter. I’m continuously amazed with how you deal with so much and make everything look so easy. I couldn’t imagine dealing with the obstacles thrown at you time after time. You’re my role model and I strive to be as strong mentally and physically like you everyday. I hope I can be as great as a mom as you are one day and make my daughter as proud as I am. I’m sorry that I can be so self-centered and careless because that’s nothing you deserve, and all I want is to make you proud as you make me. I’m sorry for being inconsiderate and I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you yesterday but I still wanted to let you know how proud I am to call you my mother. I love you forever and always.…
