From Bob Ewell's evidence in Chapter 17 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," we learn that he is a dishonest and racist character who falsely accuses Tom Robinson of assaulting his daughter Mayella.

Burris Ewell is one of the eight children of Bob Ewell. He had cooties and Miss Caroline sent him away because she was disgusted. He and his family only go to school for the first day every year, then leave, and are very proud of that.

Burris Ewell is a very minor character. He is one of Bob Ewell's children. The only time he comes into the novel is one day when Scout is in first grade. Burris Ewell is a younger sibling of Mayella Ewell.

Jem's determination to protect his sister and his sense of justice make him a brave and admirable character in "To Kill a Mockingbird."
