In "The Rockpile", John and Roy do not always receive the same treatment from the adults in their family. Have you ever felt that you or someone else in your family was treated differently from everyone else? What caused the difference, and do you think it was fair? Explain.

Response: I feel that in my family me and my brother are treated very differently. This is because we are practically polar opposites. Where he gets mad, I usually cry. I try to avoid confrontation where he starts lots of arguments. Because of this, my parents usually treated him more harshly than they treated me because I was seen as more fragile. I think that to some extent this treatment was fair because I give my parents lots of respect whereas my brother was always angry with them.
