CHAPTER+18

At chapter 18 of To Kill A Mockingbird, Mayella Ewell comes in to court and starts talking about how Tom Robinson raped her. At page 180 Mayella says "I do not remeber too good." She's trying to avoid some questions by saying I am not at good at remembering. However later when Attius asks a lot of random questions which is related to remembering she answers it really well. "How long has yourmother been dead? ... three year --- dunno." (182) The fact is, that Tom Robinson's left arm is nonusable. "He looked oddly off balance, but it was not from the way he was standing. His left arm was fullytwelve inches fhorter than his right, and hung dead at his ide. It ended in a smal shriveled hand, and from as far away as the balcony I could see that it was no use to him." (186) If his left arm is dead then he can't make most of Mayella's right body part. "I got somethin' to say an' then I ain't gonna say no more... Mr. Finch--" Now she's mot answering any questions because Atticus was asking direct question that he wanted to know for long time. I think the Point of View is Scout trying to understand how the trial is going.

Thi might be the court where they are having trials.
