Luella Bates is a caring and empathetic person because she took care of the boy robbing her instead of scolding him. The boy was trying to steal her pocketbook, but she knew what situation he was in because of something she went through in the past. Luella says, "Well, I wasn't going to say that… 'I have done things, too, which I would not tell you'" (3). This shows that Mrs. Bates has been in a similar situation.
