He could be an orphan. "...Ain't you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face? No'm said the boy" -pg. 46. "But the boys weight and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance." -pg. 45. Since the purse was able to knock the boy down this suggests that he doesn't get enough to eat because teenage boys are usually a lot stronger than how strong Roger sounds.  Roger was also trying to steal Mrs. Jones purse. He was probably trying to steal it because he didn't have money to buy a pair of shoes. His shoes could have been to small. "Now , here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes"- pg.49. ]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545682 alliyah_barnes https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545705 I think that Roger is not very wealthy because in the text on page 45 it says, "... when a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her purse." This implies that he was trying to steal the purse to get some money. I aslo think that Roger doesn't have anyone at home or they are not around a lot because in the article on page 46 it says, "Ain't you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?" " No'm, said the boy." This shows that the boy may not have a family at home.]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545705 timothy_true https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545778 I believe that Roger comes from a poor family. It doesn't sound like his family, if he has one, is around a lot. Based on the way he acted toward Mrs. Jones, I think he has to scrounge money off people in order to sustain a life.
In the text, on page 46, it says "I got a great mind to wash your face for you. Ain't nobody home to tell you to wash your face?" "No'm." He answered Mrs. Jones' question by telling her that he doesn't have anybody home with him. Maybe he doesn't have a home.
It sounds like he is constantly on the run because on page 46, the text states: "Roger looked at the door-looked at the woman-looked at the door-and went to the sink". His actions here in the text have persuaded me to decide that he is deciding whether to run, or to stay.]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545778 isabelle_johnson https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545815 I think that Mrs. Jones is an understanding women, from the way she says,"']]> 2017-09-18 16:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545815 torin_pasa https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545840 I infer that the boy is very poor because in the text it says,¨ a boy ran up behind her and tried to snatch her pursue.¨ the text also says that the boi has no one to care for him or to tell him to wash his face]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545840 allison_martin4 https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545850 I can infer Mrs.Jones is old fashioned because of how she acts or things she uses. For example, when Mrs.Jones is cooking she takes out Lima beans and ham From an icebox, Not very many people use ice boxes anymore (49). Another example, of Mrs.Jones being old fashioned is when she sits on a daybed which is a couch that can fold into a bed, most people nowadays call it a couch (48).]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545850 alexis_gable https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545851 Mrs. Jones: 
I can infer that Mrs. Jones is a southern high-mid-aged woman. She speaks and acts like that, "Pick up my pocketbook, boy, and give it here." (pg.45) She knows how to teach lessons well. She thinks that being strict AND kind towards Rodger will teach him the lesson more than that of sending him to prison. Most people would immedeatly call the police, but Mrs. Jones made the boy understand whats good and bad. She also gave him food, cleaned him up, and rewarded him with money for his shoes when she thought he learned from her. "Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes." "...shoes got by devilish ways will burn your feet." "..from here on in, I hope you behave yourself."

Pg. 45 "Then she reached down, picked the boy up by his shirt front and shook him until his teeth rattled."  even though many think that she is crazy, she was trying to prove a point to the boy. Rodger is a teenager that was trying to get some money for some new shoes, and I consider him to be introverted, because he doesn't say much. pg 48. " Then there was a pause, a very long pause." and pg 49 "the boy wanted to say something other than thank you, Ma'm to Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, but although his lips moves, he could't even say that..." I also believe that roger is poor. Pg 48 " I want a pair off blue suede shoes, said the boy" and doesn't have anyone to care for him. Pg 48 "There's nobody at my house, said the boy"This is why I believe that Mrs. Jones is confident and why Rodger is an introverted thug.]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545856 alex_kari https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545877 I think that Mrs.Jones is an honest person because she admits that she has "done things, too", and extremely kind, judging as she took Roger home to wash his face and gave him 10$ (241.43$ in 2017 money, assuming this is in the 1900's (fridges were made in 1910's )) (probably rich)

I also believe that that Roger is desperate homeless, judging how it says " 'Ain't you got nobody home to wash your face?'  'No'm' "
and how he was so desperate to get money from Mrs.Jones]]> 2017-09-18 16:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545877 catherine_neill https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545881 I think that Mrs. Jones  is a very strong southern lady with a big personality on pg.  45 , ¨after the woman said, ´pick up my pocket book and give it here´she still held him tightly ¨  Also on pg ]]> 2017-09-18 16:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545881 marco_orlando https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188545904 I believe that Mrs. Jones is helping Roger out. On page 46, it states "Then Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face." said the woman. whereupon she turned him loose at last." At the end of the story it states "Now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes."

If an old woman almost got stolen from, they'd probably call the police, but she knows Roger is poor and in need, so she decides to help him out a little. In the story, she says," Now here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suede shoes...". She seems like a soft woman, and she wants to help others. She also said," Well, you didn't have to snatch my pocketbook to get some suede shoes. You could have asked me."

I think she is from the south. in the story she calls her purse a "pocket book" and says stuff like "ain't". I think roger is naughty until he meets Mrs. Jones and becomes better like when he is in her house and sits were she can see him instead of running away.]]> 2017-09-18 16:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546026 violet_vaughn https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546056 I think that Mrs. Jones is a strong, large, southern, and very caring woman. She's just very old-fashioned. The majority of people in her situation probably would have called the police, but when he was trying to rob her, she cleaned him up, fed him, gave him money, and let him go without legal punishment afterwards. That's more than generous. As she said in the story, "But you put yourself in contact with me... If you think that that contact is not going to last awhile, you got another thought coming. When I get through with you, sir, you are going to remember the name Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones." She took a much... gentler approach than I expected. Though, I can kind of see why she wanted to help him. Roger, who we can assume had no family (Which BTW makes him an orphan, not homeless. Sorry, I had to say it. It was beginning to annoy me.), was only trying to do what he had to to stay alive. He was dirty, desperate and without a family. You have to admit that even if you looked at the boy in a bad way, you'd feel a bit of pity for his situation. It's just that Mrs. Jones reacted to her feelings and beliefs immediately rather than needing a moment to think about her actions. She already knew what she wanted to do, and she wanted to help Roger.]]> 2017-09-18 16:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546056 zachary_andrade https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546073 2017-09-18 16:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546073 griffin_reddig https://padlet.com/jackie_hofer/v4fu0nu7zn6a/wish/188546126 the boy is either very poor or homeless.

In the story it says,"now, here, take this ten dollars and buy yourself some blue suedes shoes." This implies that he did not have enough money to buy his own pair, and that's why he was going to steal the lady's purse.  The story also says," Your face is dirty.

She is also too trusting because she left out her purse pg 49 " -nor did she watch her purse that she left behind her on the day-bed." 

I also believe that Roger wants to be good pg 49 " And he did not want to be mistrusted now."  He is also just kinda a normal kid because he wants to be cool with those blue suide shoes: pg 48 " "I want a pair of blue suide shoes," said the boy."

Also, she is a very trusting person because she left Roger behind the screen with the door and her purse open and he could've just stole some money and ran out the door.
