if you have the book with you, you can find where Tom stands up in court...that's where it says it.
Tom Robinson's left arm was injured and rendered useless in "To Kill a Mockingbird".
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Bob Ewell is described as left-handed, particularly during the trial where he signs his name with his left hand. This detail is significant because it contradicts his daughter Mayella's testimony, which suggested that Tom Robinson assaulted her with his left hand.
The objective of a handgun is to kill or injure. Who would a private student want to kill or injure during lessons?
The quote "Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand" is not from the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
Calpurnia punished Scout for cursing in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Tom Robinson's left hand was crippled. He got it caught in a cotton-machine when he was young. This was significant because the person who struck Mayella Ewell, the woman who he "raped", lead with their left. Since he can only use his right hand, this was very significant.
Tom Robinson was a field hand who worked on a farm in Maycomb County, Alabama.
Atticus talks about how Mayella Ewell was beaten by someone that lead with their left hand although Tom Robinson doesn't have the ability to use his left hand. So the audience is left to believe that since Bob Ewell is ambidextrous he is the one who beat her.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Tom Robinson's handicap is a crippled left arm due to an accident involving a cotton gin. This physical disability is a significant aspect of his character and plays a role in the trial.
Mayella's bruises are important in "To Kill a Mockingbird" because they serve as evidence that Tom Robinson did not harm her, as he is left-handed and the bruises are on the right side of her face. This physical evidence becomes a crucial part of the trial, highlighting the injustice and racism in the community. It underscores the false accusations and wrongful conviction of Tom Robinson.
To Kill a Mockingbird... Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed slat and twice as hard (7).ha! im doing this too for a project! i hope this helps :]
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the evidence of the trial where Bob Ewell accuses Tom Robinson of beating his daughter, Mayella, can be found in Chapter 17. Bob Ewell testifies that he saw Tom Robinson assaulting Mayella, but Atticus Finch presents evidence showing that Tom Robinson's left hand is disabled, making it physically impossible for him to have been the one who caused Mayella's injuries.
