she told the children that she would buy them ice cream
No, Mayella has no children. Mayella's mother is not mentioned.
The father of Mayella
Tom Robinson testified that Mayella asked him to come inside the house on November 21 to help her with some chores, specifically to repair a door hinge.
Tom Robinson's options were limited when he was in the house with Mayella as he was falsely accused of assaulting her. He could have tried to defend himself or leave the house immediately to avoid any further conflict. However, being a black man facing racial prejudice in a segregated society, his options were severely restricted.
Boo Radley (Ch 19) Scout thinks Mayella Ewell is the loneliest person in the world. Mayella Ewell was even lonelier than Boo Radley, who had not been out of the house in twenty five years.
Tom testifies that he always passed the Ewell house on the way to work and that Mayella often asked him to do chores for her. On the evening in question, he recounts, she asked him to come inside the house and fix a door. When he got inside, there was nothing wrong with the door, and he noticed that the other children were gone. Mayella told him she had saved her money and sent them all to buy ice cream. Then she asked him to lift a box down from a dresser. When Tom climbed on a chair, she grabbed his legs, scaring him so much that he jumped down. She then hugged him around the waist and asked him to kiss her. As she struggled, her father appeared at the window, calling Mayella a whore and threatening to kill her. Tom fled. Hope this Helps ; )
She claimed that she called him in her house to chop up an old dresser that her father didn't want anymore.
Mayella's full name is Mayella Violet Ewell.
Mayella sent them to buy Ice Creams (so she could be alone with Tom!).
mayella mayegotia yes..
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the children's reaction to Mayella Ewell's testimony is one of confusion and discomfort. They struggle to understand her situation and the complexities of her life, particularly in the context of her relationship with her father and the societal issues at play. Scout, in particular, feels a mix of pity and anger, recognizing the injustice and the societal pressures that have led Mayella to testify against Tom Robinson. Overall, the children's response highlights their growing awareness of the harsh realities of racism and classism in their community.
Tom Robinson testified that Mayella Ewell had asked him to do odd jobs around her house, but when he arrived she had tried to make advances towards him. When her father, Bob Ewell, caught her, Mayella accused Tom of attacking her in order to cover up her advances towards him.
