Answer:
the theme of the story of thank you ma'am is that you should always have kindness it is present in both stories by the author and Mrs. Luella Bates and Jones and roger.
Expressed primarily through Mrs. Jones's kind and understanding treatment of Roger, generosity is another of the story's major themes. Even though Roger attempts to steal her purse, Mrs. Jones does not resort to punitive action. She may treat Roger sternly and make him worry about what she is going to do to him, but ultimately, she brings him to her home in order to learn what circumstances drove him to snatch her purse. Having found out that he comes from an impoverished home and lives with little or no parental supervision, Mrs. Jones generously feeds him and gives him the money he needs to buy suede shoes. Perhaps seeing a younger version of herself in him, Mrs. Jones understands the life-changing impact her generosity could have on Roger, whose life until then has been characterized by a need to fend for himself.
