Langston Hughes’s “Thank You, M’am” tells the story of a teen boy, Roger, who meets this older woman, Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, while attempting to steal her purse. When Roger is initially confronted by the firm and imposing Mrs. Jones, he clearly believes he will be punished for his crime; indeed, she takes him in hand, kicks him square in the blue-jeaned sitter, and shakes him until his teeth rattled. It is an analysis of Empathy, Kindness, and Punishment
