Hello fellow bloggers! Here's some questions for Chapters 16-20.
Chapter 16 - Chapter 16 describes how most of the inhabitants of Maycomb appeared to watch the trial of Tom Robinson. What elements of the Robinson case made it so interesting to the townsfolk?
Chapter 17 - Explain why the bruises on the right side of Mayella Ewell's face were so important to Atticus's defense of Tom Robinson.
Chapter 18 - Discuss Mayella Ewell's manner while answering questions at the witness stand. Do you think she was trying to make the jury feel pity for her?
Chapter 19 - Tom Robinson told Mr. Gilmer that he was scared after Bob Ewell saw Mayella hugging him. What details of Tom's and Mayella's identity made her advances so terrifying to Tom?
Chapter 20 - In this chapter, Atticus presents his closing arguement to the jury. On whom does he place the blame for the incident between Tom Robinson and Mayella Ewell? Do you think he wants the individual at fault to recieve a severe punishment?

Please excuse the fact that my blog is a day late, it is because the Mockingbird site wouldn't post my blog yesterday and I tried 2 different computers.
Chapter 17 :
The bruises on Mayella's right side of her face were very important to Atticus's defense of Tom Robinson. This is because to injure someone on the right side of the face you must use your right hand. When Atticus asked Mr. Bob Ewell to write his name on a sheet of paper, Bob Ewell wrote with his left hand. The fact that he writes with his left hand makes it very plausible that the could have beaten Mayella. Tom Robinson could not use his left hand, because he injured it a long time ago, which would make it almost impossible to injure Mayella Ewell, so that leaves Mr. Bob Ewell.
MAyellas manner was timid and scared. She didn't want anyone to know the truth so she tried everyway possible just to blame Tom to cover it up. She tried to cry but Atticus saw behind those fake tears becuase he knew that Tom was inncocent
