Question

What does Roger say when Mrs. Jones asks him why he tried to snatch her pocketbook? What does Mrs. Jones say in response? How do her words affect him?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When Mrs. Jones asks Roger why he tried to snatch her pocketbook, he says that he "wanted a pair of blue suede shoes" (par. 30). In response, Mrs. Jones tells him that he didn't have to snatch her pocketbook in order to get the shoes. More importantly, she tells him that he could have asked her (par. 31). Roger seems to be confused by this, and says "M'am?" as he tries to puzzle out what she means.

Answer 2

Roger says that he didn’t aim to and that he tried to snatch her pocketbook because he wanted to get a new pair of blue suede shoes. Mrs. Jones said back,” Well, you didn’t have to snatch my pocketbook to get some suede shoes, you could have asked me.” Her words affect him by making him have a long pause to think about what he had done and what he could have done.
