Kindred Reflection: Prologue, The River, and The Fire

• Pretend you are Rufus’s mother.  Describe what happened at the river, including what you were doing, what you saw, and what you think about it.
• As I was looking for my son I found him near the river. I was so relieved that he was okay but I was scared that i saw a nigga with him. I had no choice but to try and defend him by punching her with all my might to defend my little Rufus. she punched me back and told me to calm down with such strength and might, that I was startled. Never in my life have I ever been spoke up before like that. I was calm because she was helping my little Rufus, plus she was doing something from the second book of kings. finally she helped him I was so relived that  he was just fine. As soon as I tried to say thank you my husband came and saw a the girl wet, along with Rufus, While he was holding his rifle. Tried to stop him and told him, that he got the wrong idea but the second i turn around she was gone. It was like she was never there but i was still wandering who she was with those clothes and her tone of speaking.

Quote4: No man worships education has got the best of education… without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
