Conflicts in "Thank You M’am"
In the short story "Thank you M’am" there are many types of conflict. To start of, Roger has a conflict with himself. Roger makes a decision to not steal for the second time. "The boy took care to sit…away from the purse" (Hughes 150). Also, Roger has a dilemma with Mrs. Jones. When Roger attempts to steal Mrs. Jones’ purse she "kicked him in his blue-jean sitter" (Hughes 146). In addition, he has an encounter with society. Roger has nobody to teach him right from wrong, or to not steal. When Mrs. Jones says "Aint you got nobody home?" he says "No’m" (Hughes 147). In conclusion there are three different types of conflicts in the short story" Thank you M’am".
