One attribute that describes Mrs. Jones would be that she was very merciful. After Roger—who tried to steal her purse—had been caught by her hands, she didn't do anything back, but treated him like her own son. "Then, Roger, you go to that sink and wash your face," "Well, you didn't have to snatch my pocketbook to get some suede shoes...You could of asked me." With how she had acted, she was shown to be merciful.

At first it surprised me that Mrs. Johns decided to show kindness to the boy that tried to rob her. But then I figured that she knew the boy wasn't some kind of thug. On page 1 she asked if she turned, will the boy flee. He responded with yes. "'If I turn you loose, will you run?' asked the women. 'Yes'm,' said the boy." This shows that she found out the boy was honest and showed kindness to him.

An interesting part was when Roger, after trying to steal Mrs. Jones purse, was deciding whether or not to run out of the house. Roger had the opportunity to run out the front door and grab her purse on the way out. The text said "The door was open. He could make a dash for it down the hall. He could run!" (2). This proves that after being captured by Mrs. Jones, Roger struggled with the decision to run out the door.
