“You could of asked me.”- What did the speaker expect to be asked? What light does it throw upon the character of the speaker? Class 12 | English (Thank You Maam) 6 Marks
Ans:
The speaker, Mrs Luella Bates Washington
Jones expected the teenager, Roger who tried to steal her purse, to ask her for the money he needed to buy a pair of blue suede shoes.
Through this utterance, Mrs Jones revealed the affectionate motherly instinct in her. She could not stop herself from extending her helping hand to the needy and distressed Roger. She was hardly disturbed by his attempt of theft and dishonesty, rather she thought it more necessary to deal with the cause of such a deed. She knew it from her own childhood experience that the sense of loss and deprivation pushes even an innocent mind towards an evil act. That is why Mrs Jones dealt with the matter very sensibly.
