                                   (Lee 231)

This quote is important because not only is Bob speaking of Tom as anything other than human: not calling him by his name but by an insult. But he also called Mayella his, as if she's property that someone could take from him. This furthers Atticus's idea that Bob Ewell does not respect his daughter, and possibly is the one who beat Mayella]]> 2017-01-07 20:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145829295 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830107 This can be used to quiz yourself, use flashcards, and play games to help learn basic information from chapter 17.]]> 2017-01-07 21:25:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830107 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830212 2017-01-07 21:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830212 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830262 "So far, things were utterly dull: nobody had thundered, there were no arguments between opposing councel, there was no drama; a grave disappointment to all present, it seemed."
                                         (Lee 226)

This quote is important because it is showing that the city of Maycomb was expecting everything that was going on in the trial. The people of Maycomb were hoping for excitement; whether it was an argument, or even something in Tom's favor. ]]> 2017-01-07 21:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830262 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830451 "All the little man on the witness stand had that made him any better than his nearest neighbors was, that if he scrubbed with lye soap in very hot water, his skin was white."
(Lee 229)

This quote is important because Bob Ewell is being compared to the black community, whom he has a strong dislike for. He lives right down the road from them, and is everything they are, including being dirty and not living in a pleasant area, besides the same skin color. This quote is especially important because this is representing the theme of racial prejudice, which is shown throughout the story. Bob believes he is superior to the blacks, even though the only thing separating himself from them is his skin.]]> 2017-01-07 21:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830451 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830612 "Mr. Finch know you all are here?

This quote is important because it shows age development in the kids. Even though children shouldn't be watching the trial, along with women, they were mature enough to handle what had been said by Bob Ewell and everything that Tom Robinson had been accused of doing.]]> 2017-01-07 21:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830612 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830754 2017-01-07 21:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145830754 tsieja https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145891079
Chapter 17 is an important chapter to the story. It gives two point of views for what happened between Tom Robinson and Mayella. One of the point of views was Bob Ewell's, which includes plenty of insults to Tom. Not only does this reveal information about Bob, but so does when he has to write his name on the envelope, which reveals he is left handed and could have been the one to hurt Mayella and give her bruises. ]]> 2017-01-09 01:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tsieja/tah38yynkgm0/wish/145891079
