Chapter 17


1. He was alerted by Bob Ewell. Bob told him the story. Heck went and picked up Tom Robinson. Atticus makes the point that Mayella was never taken to the doctor.

2. The children are uneducated, uncared for, must fend for themselves and they depend on charity. We might suspect that Mr Ewell is abusive and drinks.

3. We learn that he heard Mayella screaming and then saw Tom in the house raping his daughter.

4. Atticus wants to see which hand he writes with. The jury sees that Mr. Ewell is left handed.
