These 11 chapters were very interesting chapters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading these chapters. Mr. Ewell was stalking a lot of people. He is making sure that nobody is conspiring against him so that he can get away with his crime. Tom Robinson also loses the trial when he is not even guilty. Mr. Ewell was the one who raped his daughter and abused her not poor crippled Tom. Scout also is going to play a ham in the pageant.
Direct Evidence:
When Atticus made Tom write his name on a piece of paper, Tom wrote with his left hand. Therefore Tom could not have punched Mayella with his left hand because her bruise was on her right side. This proves that Tom is not guilty and Mr. Ewell was the one who did those things to her.
Circumstantial Evidence:
Tom went into Mayella's house but nobody actually saw what happened. This is why they think Tom raped Mayella. There is no clear evidence on what actually went down inside of the house with Tom and Mayella.
I think that these chapters were very eventful. I enjoyed reading about the trial and who got accused. These chapters left room for interpratation and let me use my problem solving skills. I am excited to keep reading To Kill A Mockingbird.
Max, I feel like this post was a little light on the details. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapters, but I'd like a little more "direct evidence" that you read them. In addition, I think you mixed up the circumstantial vs. direct evidence. What you described as direct is considered circumstantial. Direct evidence is the testimony of the witnesses. Provide me with what each person testified happened. And then also decide who presented the stronger case.
