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 parents forbade me from doing when I was young was having a phone. I got a phone in 8th grade which for most people would be considered pretty late. My mom didn't want me to get a phone because she didn't want me to get addicted to it and waste my time and I respect that decision.

Summary:

Today we read and did worksheets on the short story "the rock pile".

Reflection:

I learned about places that peoples parents forbid them from going.
