Reflection on The Rockpile

     From what I have learned on The Rockpile, that it was a phenomal short-story dealing with the life of 2 younger boys,  and what they do and go through.Some of the pages talked more about how it is to be different from the family by talking about the obstacles that John faced during his childhood life for dealing with his stepfather known as Greg. The experiences that was faced with Roy was minimum because he was the younger child who has influences while  dealing with his older brother and they have  stuck together with troubles they have been causing throughout the town and mistakes they make at their house. The story brought out the peoples character, mindset, and charisma dealing with certain situations going on with The Rockpile. There was a lady who had a son and he has had a strange dear to me and I understood why she did not want anybody child over there.
     For the entire story of The Rockpile the book taught on how to be brave and stay strong throughout life because there will be consequences. There was details in the passage that showed me that som  ekids are raised differently in there homes and some people would not understand until they are that person. John was my favorite character in this short-story even though he has bad influences he still has a good heart and will do things to enjoy himself and lookout for his younger siblings and feel like his stepfather does not appreciates him.
