After that the woman said, "Pick up my pocketbook, boy, and give it here." She still held him. But she bent down enough to permit him to stoop and pick up her purse. Then she said, "Now ain't you ashamed of yourself?" Firmly gripped by his shirt front, the boy said, "Yes'm." What does the boy's initial response to Mrs. Jones tell us about him?

C. He definitely knows right from wrong.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes' short story "Thank You, Ma'am" shows a boy of "fourteen or fifteen, frail and willow-wild, in tennis shoes and blue jeans" trying to snatch  a purse from a woman. But that didn't succeed as he was thrown back with the weight of the purse. And that allowed the large woman Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones to catch him before he ran off.

Instead of punishing him, she took him home and fed him, cleaned him and then gave him the money to buy the "pair of blue suede shoes" that he had wanted the money for. Mrs. Jones knew how life can be foe she had also done things in her younger days. And so she understood the boy's situation. Rather than punishing him, she acted kind towards him which was a better lesson than any form of violent punishment.

The boy, Roger's manners all through the story and also his initial response to her holding him on the sidewalk shows that he knows what is right and wrong but left with no means of getting any money, he seemed to try stealing it. His responses show he is not a bad person, but made to act according to his situation.

gilgamesh is an epic hero from birth, as he's brought to the world by the hand of several gods who shaped him with the goal of saving humanity. there's a passage from the text that reads "the glorious sun shamash bestowed upon him glory; adad the terrible god of storms bestowed upon him courage. the great gods perfected his magnificence beyond all others, terrible like the great wild bull". this is a great example that show some of the super-human qualities that the gods gave gilgamesh upon his birth.

as gilgamesh grows he has to face many challenges that put his heroism to task. the courage he displays along the way, prove that he's ready to live up to the godly qualities brought upon him. at one point he has to overcome a wild beast by the name of hubamba "whose roar is a flood, whose mouth is fire, whose breath is death", as the text reads. the actions taken by gilgamesh, beating the beast with the use of his super-human force, examplify why he shoud be thought of as an epic hero.

hope this !
