Presentation By Xaiver Good-ridge: By Milidred-D-Taylor
Setting
The setting is back in times right after slavery were the blacks were treated wrong in Mississippi. There's this Logan family and the Ma has two children Hammer and David this story is based on David's diary. Hammer has an anger problem in his brother David is on crouches from last summer he fell out a tree in broke is foot. I don't think it was happy for Black people in those times because before that they were slaves in got beaten in now they're getting segregated in treated wrong. In it was about summer time.
Summary
There's this family named the Logan's and their was a dry out with everybody's well except for there well, so Ma was so generous with letting Black and White people but Ma Rachel, And Hammer weren't find with it in Charlie Simms in he starts talking. A bunch of stuff and after that Hammer and David went to the lake so there's cows can get water and Charlie asked hammer to help him lift this wagon and David said he can't hold it for long.
