The Ewells, They were the disgrace of Maycomb because of the fact that the generations of Ewells didn't attend school or put a honest day's work into anything. And although people they lived like animals.
(Hoped this helps, I got this from pg 35+34 Chapter 3)
Scout understands that the Ewells are a poor and uneducated family, who live in squalor near the dump. She learns that they are considered to be the lowest class in Maycomb by the townspeople and are often involved in trouble.
In the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird," the citizens of Maycomb tolerate the Ewells breaking the law because of social hierarchies and prejudices within the community. The Ewells are considered lower class and are given certain leeway by the townspeople who view them as the "disgrace of Maycomb." Additionally, there is a lack of concern for the Ewells' actions due to their reputation and the belief that their behavior does not have a significant impact on the rest of society.
In this chapter you learn that the Ewell's had been the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations. According to Atticus, the Ewell's had never done an honest day's work, they go against the laws of Maycomb and won't change their ways for anyone. It is also found out that the Ewell's are dirt poor, only come to school for the first day of school and have a low social status.
If you say that someone is in disgrace, you are emphasizing that other people disapprove of them and do not respect them because of something that they have done. Am I a disgrace?
