Much of this graphic organizer can be completed in just
thinking openly about the cause and effect relationship present in the short story. 
Roger wants these blue suede shoes.  We don't know this until later on, but this is what
initiates his need to steal.  His desire to want these shoes compels him to attempt, or
try, to steal a purse.  This is merely an attempt because Mrs. Jones is not someone who
will be easily bullied into submission.  She repels Roger's attempts and drags Roger to
her house.  After washing up, Roger does not want to be the victim of mistrust with the
woman, so he sits far away from the purse and in plain sight of Mrs. Jones. She heats
dinner for both of them as they eat a meal together.  Finishing the meal, she gives him
money for the shoes and asks him to leave.  Presumably, after Roger is left standing at
the front door and wanting to say what he could not, Roger goes
home.
