In 1960, four African American college students sat down at a “whites only” lunch counter. This is basically stating that it is okay to break the rules, but I have a different opinion. If you feel like you do want to break the rules, feel free to come face to face with the risks of getting in trouble or hurting yourself.

  The reason that it is not right to break the rules is because you could get in trouble. When I was in kindergarten, my teacher told my class to start cleaning up. It was the end of the day, so I was eager to go home. My teacher, Mrs. Hoss, saw me sitting against the wall, not cleaning up like the other kids. I told her that I didn’t want to clean up. She told me it was either I clean up or I were to go to the office. Needless to say, I made a trip to the office that day.

  It’s not a good thing to break the rules because you could hurt yourself. One time, I was at my grandmother’s house. She and my dad were working outside, and I was told to stay inside. I didn’t follow the rules and walked outside. I saw a stump and placed an object in front of it to jump over. When I jumped, my foot slipped. I fell and scraped my leg.

  Rules, we all have to follow them. If not, the previous could happen. In 1960, there were four African Americans that sat down at a lunch counter for “whites only,” because they wanted to make a point. In my opinion, they did something wrong.
