This creates a stark contrast that emphasizes the hypocrisy and ignorance of their behavior.

The Cunninghams are a poor but hardworking and respectable family in "To Kill a Mockingbird," while the Ewells are also poor but are known for their laziness and dishonesty. The Cunninghams value integrity and community reputation, whereas the Ewells are seen as outcasts due to their behavior.
