In “The Rockpile” by James Baldwin, this story takes place around the 1930s. This story includes many events and conflicts. The main one being when Roy disobeys his mother’s rule about not being allowed to go down and play on the rockpile. In result to him doing it anyways he gets injured by one of the other boys outside with him. Roy’s older brother John was the left in charge so when his parents find out he let him go down there his father immediately becomes angry at him. Even though his father is extremely upset, his mother comes to defend him. I’ve had this same experience multiple times growing up. My parents would ask me to watch my younger sibling to make sure they do not get in any type of trouble while they were gone, but yet they wouldn’t listen and ended up in some type of trouble or hurt. Unfortunately, because I was the one in charge I would be to blame for it happening.

If my classes continue to be how they are now I can say that my Junior year will be a fun year.

In the article it talks about a trail maintainer named Hank “The Owl” Magnuski. Hank runs a cafe for thru-hikers passing through that want to eat, take a break, or catch up on recent news by reading new paper. He is well known for his infamous chocolate chip cookies smothered with whip cream and fruit. People who come along the trail often leave snacks and beverages in containers for future thru-hikers. But when it is left unattended too long, the wild life tends to go and take the food. Because of that the PCT has created some new rules and guidelines for hikers. The most important rule is to make sure you do not leave human waste anywhere near the trail, lake, or campsites. Secondly do not add any soap or sunscreen products to the lake. It can be extremely harmful to the animals who drink from the water. From this article, I learned that there are alot of generous people in the world. The people who took the time to leave food and drinks did not have to do that kind gesture. Also I
