Let us go back into 1930, in Maycomb, Alabama, In To Kill a Mockingbird, where there was a black man, Tom Robinson, and a young nine-teen year old, Mayella Ewell. Mayella's family planned to accuse Tom of raping Mayella, nevertheless this is not the truth. When the trial came to court, Atticus Finch planned to do his best to defend Tom in the case against the Ewell's. If he was not to do his best he would not be able to face his kids again. Mr. Ewell's views on the trial with his daughter and Tom are very different than Atticus's. Atticus believes Tom did not rape Mayella due to Mayella's, Heck Tate's and Mr. Ewell's testimonies. He believes Mr. Ewell beat and raped Mayella. Whereas, Mr. Ewell wants all to think Tom raped Mayella. Therefore, there are many differences in the Ewell's everyday lives from that of the Finch’s.
The lives of the Ewell's and Finch’s are very different, beginning with their education. The Ewell children only go to school on the first day of school therefore, their everyday lives reflect the amount of education they receive. On the other hand, the Finch's go to school every day meaning they will get a high education. Unlike the Ewell's, who will get no higher than a third-grade education. We …show more content…
Before you assume the worst, you must understand, they are one of the poorest families in Maycomb. Therefore, the survival of the Ewell family depends on help from the entire family. While the Ewell's are able to bend rules, the Finch's are not able to bend the rules. Therefore, this is one major difference in the lives of the Ewell's and Finch's. Other than the children only having to attend school on the first day, one rule Mr. Ewell, is able to bend is the hunting rule about when you are allowed to hunt. Mr. Ewell is able to hunt in and out of season, this allows the family to be guaranteed food for survival all year
