Ch 18
Mayella Ewell's home life was a bit chaotic. Kids in her family never went to school and they were very poor. It was important to show what kind of people were pressing these charges. It showed that the Ewell's weren't exactly innocent trustworthy people. The jury could then have a better picture of the situation and determine how accurate the Ewell's story was.
I completely agree with you. I think it was important to hear about her home life because it didn’t seem to be a good one. She didn’t have any friends and it seemed that she was like the mother. I agree the jury needed to hear how her home life was to get a better picture of how the Ewell’s were.
Good Answer!
