Today in class we read Maya Angelou's poem called the " The Black family Pledge." This poem pointed out the problem with the new generations ways. It called for everyone to come together to work to change our ways. it mentioned how we as a whole take the work of our ancestor for granted. It was crazy because I for one know that I am guilty of this. Today's class was pretty good.
Today in class we read a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous. One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.
