Father of the Year Essay

Many people in Maycomb County , Alabama gathered to watch genus Atticus Finch defend Tom Robinson , a black man. The odds were already against Tom Robinson and Atticus becauseTom Robinson was black and Mayella Ewell was white. Tom Robinson is being accused raping Mayella Ewell in her own home when he was suppose to be helping her with some work. Mayella told Tom Robinson to come here, nigger, and bust up this chifferobefor me, I gotta nickel you. According to her after she asked him to bust up the chifferobe tree he move to rape her.Before Atticus Finch even had a chance to question Mayella , she burst out in tears. She burst into tear when the judge simply verbalise Just tell us what happened. At the stand Mayella was a nervous break down. Within the first few questions that Atticus asked her she freaked out because she thought that Atticus was mockin her. Atticus was only being polite by calling her maam and Ms. Mayella , and Mayella seemed to just take in offense. During the questioning by Atticus , Mayella unbroken her same story, that Tom Robinson raped her.She seemed to be unsure about that story mid-way through the questioning. Actually some of her responses to Atticuss questions didnt make reason or she wouldnt respond at all. She told the court room that Tom Robinson hit her with his left hand on the right side of her face, even though his left Crises in Maycomb By Kevon McClary hand is paralyzed from an accident that accord while he was a child. The odd thing is that Mayella father, Bob Ewell , is left hand and was allegedly at the crime after the rape occurred.Throughout most of her questioning Mayella seemed as if she was confused. Mayella once stated No, I entert commemorate if he hit me. I mean yes I do, he hit me. Mayella not speaking clearly during the questioning may lead the jury to remember that she is lying about her story. In the picture above you will see Atticus Finch questioning Mayella Ewell. The last couple of questions t hat Atticus was asking Mayella , Mayella seemed to be acquire angrier by the question. There was absolutely nothing that Mayella Ewell could be getting mad about.If I was in the jury , Mayella getting aggravated, nervous, and crying that would somewhat lead to me accept the she was lying about the whole thing. Mayella really seemed to be enraged when she said her finale statement , That nigger yonder took advantage of me an if you fine fancy gentlemen dont wanta do nothin about it then youre all yellow stinkin cowards, stinkin cowards, the lot of you. Your fancy airs dont come to nothinyour maamin and girl Mayellerin dont come to nothin, Mr. Finch. My opinion of this trial is that Tom Robinson is innocent.From Mayella freaking out , to the obvious evidence that points out Tom Robinsons innocent. I think that Mayella Ewell is a great person, just raised by the wrong father. In a way it seems like all of Mayella answers were what Bob Ewell wanted her to say . She knows the truth s crewing it all , whether she wants to tell it or not. Its already obvious to the jury and the courtroom that tom Robinson is innocent. But the only thing is that Tom Robinson is an African American male whose word is not as important as the white man or even the white woman.
