Describe Joe thompson behaviour since the day he bought the sick child home |
|
Answer» Mr.Thompson: Joe Thompson is the image of compassion in this story. After the mother's funeral, Joe is compelled to take Maggie home with him, because "it's a cruel thing to leave her so." and he knows that bringing her to a poorhouse, as the others have SUGGESTED, will do no GOOD for little Maggie. Furthermore, since Joe "had a heart" and "liked children", he was able to convince his WIFE "who was not a woman of saintly temper" to ALLOW Maggie to stay in their home before she was BROUGHT to a poorhouse, although Joe had no intention to bring her to one at all. Thank You |
