Thank You M'AM - What makes a good story
In my humanities class, we read three different stories and my favorite short story was "Thank You, M'AM". The characters in the story were very unique. Mrs.Luella Bates Washington Jones, the large woman has a different characterization compares to other woman character. She is very large, and also very strong. It is funny when she hold up the boy, Roger, and shook him. However, she has a kind personalities not like how she acts like. Also. Langston Huges, the author of the "Thank You, M'AM", gave good message. The author told us that when we act kind to others and teach the wrong and right to them, they will be a better person. I think good messages and character make a good story.

Do Hyun, I liked how you focused on characterization and describes Mrs. Luella with descriptiong from the story. You have great reasoning and a nice conclusion, writing your opinion on the story. However, there are some spelling errors such as Roager-it's supposed to be Roger. And at the introduction I think you were meant to say 'we read three different stories...' But overall, you have a great claim and strong evidence to support them. Good Job.
