I infer Roger has no family or money because he tried stealing Luella's purse, and in the text he says "there's nobody home at my house,".

# data[].attributes.body
It was interpreted that way but she didn't actually have a hammer and nails.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Roger attacked Luella because he was desperate for the new shoes he wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
What would it be like if Roger had stolen from Luella, would he have changed the way he thought?

# data[].attributes.body
why did she have all that stuff in her purse (hammer Nails )

# data[].attributes.body
Why was she out at 11 o'clock

# data[].attributes.body
Why was Mrs. Jone out at 11 pm?

# data[].attributes.body
I'm reading a lot of good ideas about theme. What evidence from the story supports your idea for theme?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because she showed him the right way to go even if hes desperate

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree, the theme might be don't be afraid to ask

# data[].attributes.body
Also, I think the theme of the story is always do the right thing even if you are desperate.

# data[].attributes.body
Well joey I think that the woman didn't call the cops and instead brought Roger home because she wanted him to be healthy and cleaned up

# data[].attributes.body
Ahmed- i agree with Ahmed because in the story it says that she was young to and there were things she wanted but couldn't get.

# data[].attributes.body
I think so, Ahmed, because this might add to the reasons of why Mrs. Jones is wanting to help the boy. Not only does she feel sorry for him, but she probably sympathizes with him with doing wrong things (of course, she did them in the past). This might also link to how she wanted to "teach him a lesson."

What was the Boy's conflict and what did he learn from it?

# data[].attributes.body
do you think Mrs. Luelia Bates Washington Jones and Roger have a special connection or trust between the two?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you because in the end, Mrs. Jones gave Roger $10 to buy blue suede shoes, and Roger didn't run away.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that Mrs.Jones has stolen before

# data[].attributes.body
Joey, I agree. If people just simply tried to get revenge for a bad act, it would just lead to more and more conflict. Forgiveness is the exact opposite in which people get a chance to learn from their mistakes, and avoid conflict.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of the story is that you should forgive others and show them the error of their way's.

Ben in response to Ahmids question aout how do you think the boy lived his life

Ben in response to Ahmids question aout how do you think the boy lived his life

# data[].attributes.body
I think the boy was a very sad kid who was desperate for money and he didn't know what he was thinking when he tried to snatch the ladies purse

# data[].attributes.body
Joey- Mike- what is GRIEFFF

# data[].attributes.body
Why doesn't the woman call the cops and instead take's Roger to her home

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think the theme of the story is? I think the theme of the story is always do the right thing.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree you joey but I think the tone is not only anger and worry but also scary too because the boy is scared of what the woman will do to him.

# data[].attributes.body
how do you think the robber was living his life?

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree Mike, it wouldn't work because Roger was not in the bathroom he was somewhere else. We weren't told that he was taken to the bathroom.

# data[].attributes.body
@Ahmed_Abouomar- He attacked the woman for money...

# data[].attributes.body
Mike i said that Mrs.Jones probably brought the boy to her home because of GRIEFFF

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Mrs.Jones tell Roger "you ought to be my son.

# data[].attributes.body
@Joey_Lennon- The boy could have locked the bathroom door and went out the window to escape, if there was a window.

# data[].attributes.body
@Joey_Lennon- I agree with you due to the fact that Mrs. Jones DID find out and she brought the boy to her home to teach him a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
What is the mood/tone that you hear throughout the Story. For me it continuously changing from Anger to fright and worry

# data[].attributes.body
she might have taken him in because she saw he was desperate

for money

# data[].attributes.body
I think the woman didn't want to let the boy go because maybe she wanted to teach the boy a lesson.

# data[].attributes.body
What other options Might the boy,Roger have during column 2

# data[].attributes.body
What was the purpose of the lady taking the boy to her house and washing his face and then making him leave

# data[].attributes.body
In addition to Ahmed the boy attacked the women because maby he didn't have a lot of money and maby he wanted that money for something

# data[].attributes.body
I think her motivation was that Roger(boy's name) was alone and that he has no one home so she might feel a little bit of sadness or grief for him maybe

# data[].attributes.body
I think the motivation to bringing roger inside was that she probably thought there is always a good side to people

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think her motivation was for bringing him inside her house?

# data[].attributes.body
i think the boy attacked the woman because he didnt have money nd had nobody to get it frombecause he either wanted something to eat or something to wear

# data[].attributes.body
What do you think about her taking him to her house. I would never let a stranger in my house especially not one that just tried to jump me... would you?

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Ahmed because the kid tried to take the pocketbook which makes me think that he needed money and probably did not know what else to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the boy Tried to rob the woman to that he could get some money but his plan back fired on him

# data[].attributes.body
Why do you think the guy attacked the woman in the first column?

# data[].attributes.body
finished the first column and that the boy might be stealing the purse because he might not hav money and is doing it for his own good.
