- I liked the characters. Mrs. Jones is strong but also kind. The boy is nervous but he wants to learn.
The main person is the boy. The story is about his mistake and how he changes.
The most exciting part is when Mrs. Jones takes the boy home and trusts him.
I think the boy will not steal again, because Mrs. Jones was kind and gave him respect.
I feel sorry for the boy because he is poor and wants shoes. The story shows us their feelings so we understand.
Yes, this story is real in life. People can make mistakes and then meet someone kind who helps them.
Kindness and respect teach better than punishment. Mrs. Jones helped Roger more by being kind than by being angry.
Mrs. Jones shows respect by treating Roger like a child, not only like a thief. Trust and care can help people become better.
