The Ewells are a white family that are dirty and they literally live behind a dump. Bob Ewell(father) leaves his children uncared for and uneducated. They are "white trash" (don't ever repeat this word it is extremely offensive to blacks but that is a whole other explanation) Bob Ewell is allowed to hunt out of season and his kids don't have to go to school because they aren't really considered as apart of the society.

Who are the ewells in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Mean people who are very gross and dirty. Burris Ewell is the boy that only goes to the first day of school and calls the teacher a slut. It's in the beginning on Scout's first day of school. The Ewells are the poor white trash family that are accusing Tom Robinson of rape (Tom R. is the client of Atticus Finch.) 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 were ashamed to admit it, costing Tom Robinson his life. The Ewells are very dirty, and not very social. Burris and his other siblings only go to school on the first day, Burris has been in the first grade for three years now. They Ewells live on a piece of land off of Maycomb County and they farm, and live there. They keep to themselves, and they come and go.
