Pick a Card

 Author's Note: This short response to the story "Thank You Ma'm" is to show person vs. self conflict.
  
Roger from Thank You Ma'm is fighting against himself on the inside to make the right choices. He doesn't very well understand right from wrong because his family is either gone or away. The main event of this story, is when he really wants a new pair of blue suede shoes for himself, so he peeks around a corner looking for something. He sees a large woman with a large purse and decides to try to get some money the hard way. Secretively, he sneaks around the corner, and hits a full sprint. He latched onto the heavier-than-he-thought purse, kept running, broke the bag's strap, and fell over still with the purse. Later that night, she had changed him forever by teaching his right from wrong by teaching him to ask and be clean, and making Roger her son.

  1. i liked you word chose. one thing you could have done was broke up some of the sentences, because you had a run on. overall this was a very good piece and it looked like it took a lot of thought, time ,and effort.
