Authors Note: Pick a card: "ONE INTERNAL CONFLICT (PERSON VS.SELF) IN THIS TEXT IS…BECAUSE…
One of the internal conflicts of this story is that there was nobody home at his house and he needed the money. It quotes in the story that no one is home "There’s nobody home at my house," said the boy. There's obviously something going on in his life that wasn't clearly written, but you could notice it by the way he said it. In my life, I've never stolen somebody's things, and I've never been dragged into somebody's home against my will, but I can tell you, that I have seen reality situations when a person gave up something for someone who didn't deserve it, out of their care and kindness. The story shows that even though he stole from Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones, she was different from who he thought she was, from what he heard, she was stereotyped. She wasn't the lady everyone assumed she was because of her looks.
When I was younger I helped out at a soup kitchen, it's a place where people go when they can't afford a real meal. It was really sad to see some children with no parents and not the same materials we had. Not only did they not have real pairs of shoes or clothes but they were acting criminally. There was this young boy and girl, they were African- American and were in old faded, tattered clothing, but they were running around taking peoples food or were grabbing anything they could get their hands on. The owner of the kitchen stopped them of course, but it was absurd… when I read this short story that's exactly what I thought about while reading. Many who don't have a real father or mother at home end up acting out, out of their anger that their parents aren't there.
