"Thank You, M'am" by Langston Hughes


"Thank You, M'am"


In the year 1955, author and poet Langston Hughes wrote the famous story, "Thank You, M'am." This was shortly after the song "Blue Suede Shoes" came out and was an instant hit.


The song and the story are connected in a special way. As you enjoy the song, think about what would be the "blue suede shoes" of our times.

1.  Before reading, complete the Agree/Disagree statements in your "Thank You M'am" document in your  Language Arts classroom.




2. Now, as you read the short literary work, use the text evidence, along with your own knowledge, to draw a conclusion about a possible  theme. What point is Langston Hughes trying to make about life or human nature?
