please mark as brainlist

Explanation:

Reading a story is more enjoyable if you become involved with the

people in it. One way to do this is to respond to the characters' actions.

Ask yourself,

• "Would I do that?"

• "Do I think the character should do that?"

• "How would I feel if that happened to me?"

As you read the story, record your responses to the characters' actions

in a chart like the one shown.

Shewas a large woman with a large purse that had everything in

it but hammer and nails. It had a long strap and she carried it slung

across her shoulder. It was about eleven o'clock at night, and she

was walking alone, when a boy ran up behind her and tried to

snatch her purse. The strap broke with the single tug the boy gave it

from behind. But the boy's weight, and the weight of the purse combined caused him to lose his balance. Instead of taking off full blast

as he had hoped, the boy fell on his back on the sidewalk, and his

legs flew up. The large woman simply turned around and kicked him

the boy up by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled.

After that the woman said, "Pick up my pocketbook, boy, and

give it here."

She still held him. But she bent down enough to permit him to

stoop and pick up her purse. Then she said, "Now ain't you

ashamed of yourself?"

Firmly gripped by his shirt front, the boy said, "Yes'm."

The woman said, "What did you want to do it for?"

The boy said, "I didn't aim to."

She said, "You a lie!"

By that time two or three people passed, stopped, turned to

look, and some stood watching.

"If I turn you loose, will you run?" asked the woman.

"Yes'm," said the boy.

"Then I won't turn you loose," said the woman. She did not

release him.

"Lady, I'm sorry," whispered the boy.

"Um-hum! Your face is dirty. I got a great mind to wash your face

for you. Ain't you got nobody home to tell you to wash your face?"

"No'm," said the boy.

"Then it will get washed this evening," said the large woman

starting up the street, dragging the frightened boy behind her.

He looked as if he were fourteen or fifteen, frail and willow-wild,
