Reaction Paper on the Deconstruction Of Thank You Ma'am

          Last two weeks, We learned about the story of Thank You Ma'am by Langston Hughes. It is about Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones who helped a boy named Roger despite of what Roger did to her. After reading the deconstruction of Thank You Ma'am, I realized that the theme of the story is not just Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones  taught a boy a valuable lesson by taking him in and pampering him in her house but also, there is not always someone for one to  depend on.My reaction is that, the deconstruction of Thank You Ma'am has also a point. Instead of taking the boy to the police station for having an attempt of snatching her pocketbook. Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones took the boy to her house and gave the boy food and drinks. She treated Roger like a visitor. It's like nothing happened despite what Roger did to her. When the boy said that he just wanted to have a blue-suede shoes, Mrs. Jones replied that if he wanted a blue -suede shoes,all he needs to do is just to ask. In this way, she teaches the boy to be dependent. You cannot just ask the things that you want to a person especially if you don't know him or her. Not all of the people are like Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones. The boy may do the same way to other people to get what he wants because he expected to be treated the same way as what Mrs. Jones did. In short, I agree with the statement written in the deconstruction of Than You Ma'am, because there are also times that you cannot get the things that you want. In order to have it, you must work for it.
