(Hihi, please answer. Help is needed!!)YOU MUST PROVIDE EVIDENCE FROM THE TEXT TO SUPPORT YOUR ANSWERS (Thank You Ma'am story) 1.

Based on context, what does the author mean by this phrase, and what does it tell you about Luella?

3. Reread paragraph 27 of “Thank You, M’am.” At this point in the story, Roger asks Luella if she is going to take him to jail.

Explain Luella’s point of view of what has happened, and describe how her point of view affects the way the story unfolds.
