Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

 Prompt Response: Something my mom told me to never do is to go outside when it's dark and to never open the door for somebody unless I know it's a family member because she will tell me if someone I personally know was coming. Summary: We learned about a new author James Baldwin and the read about the Rock pile and it's telling how your parents tell you not to go or do something because it could be dangerous and it could have happened to them when they was younger. Reflection: It was important to see the offenders in the area to see what is going on and to be aware of what's going on in your neigborhood.
