The Ewells were liars, and were too ashamed to stop the slandering of Tom Robinson before it came uncontrollable, costing Tom his life. The kids would basically shrivel up in the little shack that they live in and starve, if they did not have the privilege to hunt and eat the food that they kill. But as usual the Ewells were just the opposite, they did not tell the truth on a consistent basis, and it wasted a human life. People were disgusted when they helped the Ewells.

What makes them special is they were given privileges because people were ashamed of them. But the Ewells which were ashamed to admit it, costing Tom Robinson his life.

The Ewells are a poor, disreputable family in Maycomb County. They are known for their laziness, poor hygiene, and dishonesty. They are special in the sense that they are considered the lowest class of white people in the community, even looked down upon by other white families.
