Gabby's book review of The Well

I just finished reading The Well by Mildred D. Taylor. This book is about a boy’s family named the Logans. David who is one of the Logans is the one telling the story. The book is mostly about discrimination against colored people. It is about how after the civil war white people still treated colored people badly. While I was reading this book I made a prediction. I predicted that Hammer David’s brother was going to get in a fight with Charlie (a white boy who was always mean to David and Hammer). Hammer punched Charlie so hard that Hammer and David though Charlie was dead. Hammer beat him up because Charlie made fun of them because David and Hammer were colored. One thing that I could visualize was when Charlie and his brother Ed-rose put a dead animal in the Logans well. After this happened in the book Hammer stood up for his mom because Mr. Mcalister Smith who is Charlie’s and Ed-rose’s father was going to have hammer’s mom’s head for accusing Charlie and Ed-rose of putting the dead animal in the well. I liked this book because it made me think of how lucky I was to not have been in such a serious situation like in this book.
