Q. ' Eat some more, son.'- Who is the speaker? What is offered by the speaker to the listener? What picture of the speaker's character is revealed in this line?[HS 2015]


Answer:

Mrs Luella Bates Washington Jones  is the speaker.


Mrs Jones offers Roger a half of her ten-cent cake.


Mrs Jones is a mother at heart. When she offers Roger the cake, she actually offers maternal affection and kindness to him. Mrs Jones understands that the boy is hungry. She heats some lima beans and hams. She makes cocoa. She cuts him a half of her ten cent cake. When Roger consumes these, Mrs Jones says: 'Eat some more, son.' Her motherly kindness is revealed in this line.
