Why do you think we feel differently about Burris Ewell than we do Walter Cunningham?
Although both the Cunninghams and the Ewells are very poor, the two families have very different lifestyles. The Cunninghams are a farming family--they work hard and make an honest living. They are uneducated, but only because they are subsistence farmers, and must work as much as possible just to get by. The Ewells, on the other hand, have no responsibilities and do no work whatsoever. Mr. Ewell, the head of the family, spends all of their money on alcohol, leaving nothing for food or living. The Ewell children are forced to scavenge for food, and are taught to despise school and all forms of authority. Because of this, the Ewells are seen as rude, uncouth, nasty people, while the Cunnighams are only perceived as unfortunately poor.
