Answer:
It's important to respect yourself and to take responsibility for your actions.
Explanation:
In the story "Thank You, M'am" its about a boy named Roger that attempted to steal the M'am's purse for a pair of shoes. Then he falls backwards and doesn't get away. So the lady takes him to her house and cooks a meal for him and herself. Later she lets him leave and she heads back inside.
So we would want to find the best theme to fit into our story.
So is this our answer? Not really. Yes he shouldn't have stolen from Mrs.Jones because he ended up getting caught but nothing all to bad happened to the character Roger.
Yes that's true, no matter how hard you hide something it always surfaces but something like that doesn't take an appearance in our story.
Crime never really pays but in the story he doesn't get in trouble really, just Mrs.Jones teaching him a lesson about stealing. But does it fit into our core here? Does it really compare with the story?
Does this seem to fit in well? Yes. Does it have meaning to Mrs.Jones giving Roger dinner and teaching him a lesson instead of turning him into the cops? Yes, it does. So this would be our theme.
I hope this helped you all! Have a nice day and keep on learning!
