Answers
Answer:At the moment he encountered Mrs. Jones, Roger was about to embark on the destiny most street children embark upon, a life of crime. However, Mrs. Jones alters his life's direction by not taking him to the cops out of mercy and showing him compassion. She particularly shows him compassion when she informs him that she, too, has "done things" she would be too ashamed to tell Roger about or even God about. She further shows him compassion when she says that, when she was young, she too "wanted things [she] could not get." In saying these things to him, she opens Roger's eyes to show him he isn't really alone in the world--other people have been in the same boat he is in and have risen above their circumstances. Since he now knows others can rise above their circumstances, he won't fall into a life of crime; instead, he'll be strong, courageous, and find ways to develop a better life for himself.
