Question

TASK 3
RECALL:
1. What was Mrs. Jones's initial reaction when the boy tried to snatch her
pocketbook?
2. What does she say she would teach Roger?
3. What do Mrs. Jones and Roger talk about during their meal?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Mrs. Jones was aggressive. She "kicked him square in his blue jean sitter... she picked up the boy by his shirt front, and shook him until his teeth rattled." She then demanded that the boy pick up the pocketbook and hand it back to her.

2.She would hate for Roger to make the same mistake again and she tells him so, warning him that shoes "come by devilish like" (meaning shoes that are obtained dishonestly) will only "burn your feet." She sends Roger on his way with the money for the shoes and hopefully a strong message to "behave yourself, boy!"

3.They talk about her job at the hotel beauty shop.
