Explanation:
The narrator in the story, "The Man In the Well", tells the story as an adult. He recounts the events that happened when she along with other kids ignored the cries for help by a man who fell into the well. They failed to render help to him but rather asked him questions. When the man eventually knew their names, they finally left the well in shame.
Till her adult age, the author says that she still would not go to the well. This might be because of her feeling about that event.
Laura judges Rita by looks instead of actually finding out by asking. Never judge a book by its cover as they say. Also Laura focused more on Rita than herself causing herself to fall behind. Hope it helped.
