TKAM:19-21
These chapters are the most important in the book. Mayella reveals her father beats her, then says, "He never laid a finger on her," and at that point it is clear who had beat her. In the end, Atticus tries to prove that it was actually Mayella who had tried to seduce TR and when he ran, Bob Ewell saw and beat Mayella for going after a black man. Though there was so much evidence supporting Atticus' theory, Tom Robinson was still convicted. I found these things very interesting. Even with evidence, there was predjuice and discrimination. Atticus worked so hard and I feel bad for him and especially for TR who is being un rightfully convicted. Why can't these people open their eyes? CLEARLY it wasn't TR, it was Bob Ewell!
