Intro Paragraph

Rockwell shows in the painting the picture-perfect, how things were, mindset of some people in the 1950s. He shows that by having the all American picture, a cop talking to a kid at a lunch counter. Instead of taking the kid home or trying to see what the problem was, the cop and waiter are just trying to make things better and tell him things are safe when the kid is with them. I think that Rockwell is making a picture of what everyone wanted to remeber the 1950s by.
