Dude in the well

Journal 3
Sher’s story was very short. There wasn’t very much to it. The various kids who stumbled upon a man in the well were from the same town. They were just a group of kids who were playing hide and go seek. They were younger kids around the age of nine.
My first impression was that the kids had stumbled upon a man and that they were going to go find help to get the man out. The kids however decided not to do that. Instead they started to ask the man questions. They kept repeating “What is your name?” The man never did answer the question. The man kept asking for help which is like something I would do if I were in his situation. All the man wanted to do was get out of the well he stated that he had been in the well a couple of days. The children did not get help the first day.
The next day the children brought him food and water but they still didn’t get help to get the man out of the well. At this point I was wondering why they just didn’t get help to get the man out of the well. After all it was the right thing to do. This brings me to question what is easier to do; do what is wrong because all of your friends are doing it or stand up and do what is right. All of the children decided to do what was wrong. I couldn’t understand why the children didn’t just go get help to get the man out of the well. They would have been considered heroes. They would have saved a man’s life. After the third day the children still didn’t get help. The children left the well and didn’t go back. In the story the narrator went on to say that to this day he still hasn’t been by the well. There was no word on whether the man got out of the well or not but I am assuming that he didn’t so the children just stood by and let a man die.
