Dear Reader,

I think in my "Thank you M'am" essay,it has a voice. I believe this because it sounds very personal and it does sound like

myself. It also has details that support the essay, so enjoy the essay and have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!




Does the story, "Thank you M'am" end happily or sadly?"


In my opinion, I do believe ‘’ Thank you M’am’’ ended happily. One; Roger learned a life long lesson. Two, Roger and Mrs.

Luella created a life long bond together. Finally Roger was so speechless at the end of the story that he couldn't even say,

"Thank you M'am". Here are more examples of my opinion


Roger learned a couple of life long lessons. For one, he learned not to under-estimated older and bigger woman, you just

might be surprised on what may happen. Also, he learns to make decisions; even though that means you can't get what you

what. For example, when Roger washed his face and he had a chance to leave but he didn't. In addition, near the end of the

story Mrs. Luella gave Roger money for his blue suede shoes, he realized he doesn't need to steal to get what you want.


In the beginning of the story, Roger and Mrs. Luella didn’t get along with each other. Luella had Roger in a head-lock,

and Roger tried to steal her purse; it would only mean that they wouln't get along. But during the story they started to see

both sides of the story. Roger realized that, "The grass isn't greener on the other side". Mrs. Luella learned that, not

everybody knows whats' good for them. Their relationship started to grow when Mrs. Luella took Roger in her house, feed

him, and bathe him.


During this journey, Roger learned that all he needed was a caring hand. He really didn't want the blue suede shoes, that

was society saying he needed th blue suede shoes. In fact, I believe one of Elvis most famos song about blue suede came out

out around the same time Roger tried to steal Mrs. Luella purse. That could be the reason why Roger wanted to steal Mrs.

Luella purse, he wanted the money to buy them; Roger obviously, was poor or didn't have the money to buy them. After Mrs.

Luella was so humble to him in the end of the story, Roger couldn't even say "Thank you M'am to Mrs. Luella for being so nice

to him.


In conclusion I think the story ends happily, because Roger learns great lessons to take through his life (I guarantee that

he will never steal for anybody ever again), and Mrs. Luella gave a needy child a piece of her time. Mrs. Luella could have call

the cops on him and him arrested but she took him in and gave him some attention. The story started off sadly but at the

end, the story had a happy ending. This is why I believe the story ends happily.
