Analysis:

This book had a very good lesson to be learned. That is to never take something that isn’t yours. I can see he was desperate to get money and food because he was getting older and he needed to feed more and he was already really skinny. He was also young to understand how to get money and food the way of not harming anyone. 

Mrs. Jones must be a really strong hearted woman because she took a homeless kid from the streets and fed him and gave him ten dollars and didn’t turn him in for trying to steal he pocketbook. These people deserve something good because there are too many homeless people living on the streets and there is not enough people willing to give them a home or something for them to use.
