When Tom Robinson was alone in a room with a white woman, he was putting himself in a very vulnerable position that Bob Ewell took advantage of by framing him as a…

It was unfortunate for Walter Waddles that he struggled mightily with his weight, a not all too uncommon affliction these days, but a surname like his was fodder for an unceasing commentary on his unbalanced gait brought on by an accompanying and rather prodigious girth. Further cause for ridicule from his puerile classmates at Robert E.
