Ch 17-20

In these chapters, Atticus asked some questions to Mr. Ewell, Mayella and Tom in the court room. I could not forget Tom's words because he said that he felt sorry for Mayella. Mayella was poor because her family was poor and she did not have friends. She was lonely but her father was not good person so she wanted Tom. However, she was scared about his father so she had to lie to people. Tom was poor, too because he tried to tell the truth but people did not believe him. He was a black man so people did not trust him. I thought that they were the mockingbirds becasue they were powerless people.
