    Chapter 18: Mayella begins her testimony, she is nineteen and relatively clean compared to the rest of the Ewells.

She says that she had offered Tom Robinson a nickel the evening of the incident to break up a chifferobe for her. Atticus questions her story. Like why she didnt put up a better fight or why the children didnt hear her screams, and most of all how Tom managed to do this with only his right arm. Atticus pleas her to admit that there was no rape and it was her father who beat her but this only leads to anger and yelling. She then starts to cry and refuses to answer more questions.…

    Tom Robinson Justice

    He tells us what happened, saying that he went to get something for Mayella off the top of the chifforobe and all of a sudden she grabbed his legs, startling him and making him jump off the chair. She then went and kissed Tom and he tried to run away as fast as he could. He claims the last thing he heard was Mr Ewell shouting at Mayella “I’ll kill ya! I’ll kill ya!”. Mayella states her side of the story, nervously and feebly; she it didn’t look as if the honest truth was coming out of her mouth. It seems that towards the end of the trial she got desperate, knowing that the proof that Mr Robinson was unable to perform such acts meant that she and her father had to be lying. In desperation she yells out in court “I got somethin' to say. And then I ain't gonna say no more. He took advantage of me. An' if you fine, fancy gentlemen ain't gonna do nothin' about it, then you're just a bunch of lousy, yella, stinkin' cowards, the - the whole bunch of ya, and your fancy airs don't come to nothin'.

    To Kill A Mocking Bird Book Report

    I can’t say I’m astonished by the State Board of Education’s decision to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird”. After all, what can you expect from such short-minded people? Such people that regrettably are put in the position to judge what books are moral and fit to be read by young adults. Is it the book’s display of what really happens in the world, or the book’s lessons of protecting innocence and standing up for what you see as right, that makes this book so disgraceful, that we must shelter young minds from?…

    She also said, “you’d would be the first man I kissed, and anything my dad does, doesn’t count,” so that kind of makes you think that her dad has maybe sexually abused her. Also Tom has a crimpled left arm and Mayella was hit on her right side of her face, by a left handed person. Also Bob, her dad, is left-handed (Lee 393-395) Later on the verdict says that Tom is guilty. You know by all the evidence that he is clearly not. It also took a couple hours to make the decision.…

    Capital Punishment In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

    In To Kill a Mockingbird, the specifics of the case of Mayella Ewell being raped by Tom Robinson were inconsistent. Mayella's testimony differs from her father's. For one thing, in Chapter 18, she tells the court that Tom Robinson choked her as she faced him, then he "took advantage of her. " She says nothing about having been hit in the right eye (or the left) as her father, Tom Ewell, has stated previously in Chapter 17. And, when Atticus, the defense attorney, questions her, "Do you remember his beating you about the face?" Mayella stops and thinks about it.…
