Our first unit was about short stories, and our assessment was to write a fanfiction based on one of the short stories we read. Some of the short stories we read include “Accident” by Dave Eggers, “Thank You, M’am” by Langston Hughes, and “Rapture” by Gayle Brandeis. The canon text(the original short story) that I have chosen was “Thank You, M’am” by Langston Hughes. It tells a story of Mrs. Jones, who was walking home, and Roger, who tried to steal Mrs. Jones’ purse. Mrs. Jones takes him home and gives him food instead of reporting him to police. In the story, Mrs. Jones tells Roger that she has done things, too. So for my fanfiction short story, I decided to write about the “things” Mrs. Jones had done when she was young and why she stopped doing them.
