Answer:
When Roger attempts to steal her purse away from Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, he thinks selfishly only of his own gain. But, as the strap of her purse breaks, she kicks him and then picks him up and shakes him. Mrs. Bates gains Roger's attention, and he is forced to see her as a real person to whom he has meant harm. When she asks him if he will run if released from her grip, Roger replies that he will, so she maintains her control over him. Further, she asks Roger why he has wanted to steal her purse. He maintains that he "did not aim to," but Mrs. Jones tells him he is lying.
