Reflection
The Rockpile

     
           The story was not , necessarily about the  Rockpile. It was about John , Roy , their father and their mother . John was obedient and smart while Roy was the headstrong child who got away with everything. Their father , Gabriel who was only biologically the father of Paul , Delilah, and Roy was hard on John. John sat in the window seal and watched Roy play on the rock pile . Even though John was older than Roy , he did not want to disappoint him. When Roy was carried back in due to his cut on his head , Gabriel was upset. He blamed John and the mother for Roy’s injury .

   Gabriel at one moment realized the blame could not be on anyone but Roy. Hi face softened from what it had been .The mother told John to pick up his father’s lunch box. I believe at that moment Gabriel believed John was just as much as his son as the rest of his children.
