The Ewells are not credible witnesses in "To Kill a Mockingbird" because they are known for lying and causing trouble in the community. They belong to the lowest social class in Maycomb, and Bob Ewell has a reputation for breaking the law and spreading false accusations. Their credibility is further undermined by their racist beliefs and overall unreliability.
Yes, they are very racist.
The Ewells were considered the poorest family in "To Kill a Mockingbird." They lived in poverty and were seen as outcasts in the community of Maycomb.
mayella's gernaniums
Tom Robinson was shot, and the Ewells walked free (even though they were guilty)!!
No, Tom Robinson is the one that was accused of rape by the Ewells.
scummy not the cleanest basic red necks of the woods
Harper Lee uses the literary device of irony to characterize the Ewells in "To Kill a Mockingbird." The Ewells portray themselves as superior to others in the community, yet they are shown to be the most impoverished and morally corrupt family. This creates a stark contrast that emphasizes the hypocrisy and ignorance of their behavior.
The Ewells lived behind the garbage dump. (pg.183)
The Cunninghams are a poor but hardworking and respectable family in "To Kill a Mockingbird," while the Ewells are also poor but are known for their laziness and dishonesty. The Cunninghams value integrity and community reputation, whereas the Ewells are seen as outcasts due to their behavior.
I believe the lawyer for the Bob and Mayella Ewell is Mr.Gilmer! I hope im right :) mister gilmer is the county prosecuter who represents "the people" so he is indirectly advocate for the ewells
The children also avoid the Ewells' house in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." The Ewells are considered outcasts in the community, and their house is known for being dirty and rundown.
It is near a garbage dump, a place where the trash of the community goes to. That includes the Ewell's home.
