Mayella Ewell

Heck Tate

"I got somethin' to say an' then I ain't gonna say no more. That nigger yonder took advantage of me an' if you fine fancy gentlemen don't wanta do nothin' about it then you're all yellow stinkin' cowards, stinkin' cowards, the lot of you. Your fancy airs don't come to nothin'—your ma'amin' and Miss Mayellerin' don't come to nothin', Mr. Finch-" (167)

True or False

Effects

Matter

Meaning

This just means that if no one takes an action, then there are all scared to do so

This gave the jury more of a reason to prove Tom guilty because she is a girl and looks like she is really hurt

This is said to be true because she was "raped" and taken "advantage" of. So if no one makes an action then they are scared

This mattered more toward the jury because if the jury pronounced Tom not guilty, then they are scared that something wrong would happen

"Well I can tell you why you didn't. It wasn't necessary, Mr. Finch. She was mighty banged up. Somthing sho' happened it was obvious."

True or False

Meaning

Effects

Matter

Heck was saying that she was really hurt and badly to.

This is proven to be true because Tom was later pronounce guilty of rape

This mattered to both Atticus and Bob because it helped Bob but betrayed Atticus

Since Tom is African-American, white men can say anything and the jury will believe them. Heck is just trying to help Bob win.

Tom Robinson

Atticus Finch

"Yes, suh. I felt right sorry for her, she seemed to try more'n the rest of 'em-"

"In the name of god, do your duty"

Effect

True or False

Meaning

Matter

This had totally no effect because of racism, nobody takes a black mans word

This means why and how he managed to do chores and be nice to Mayella

This mattered to nobody because he is a nobody to the jury, his word doesn't mean anything

This is proven true because it seemed to him that he felt bad for her and thought she wasn't like the rest of her family

True or False

Effects

Meaning

Matter

This bold statement had no effect on the trial due to the fact that during that time that the Jim Crow laws were in place.

This quote mostly matters to the jury, not really to anyone else because the jury had to make the decision

This statement was proven false because all the evidence that was given to prove that Tom was not guilty, the jury said he was guilty because of racism

The meaning of this quote is that just because he is a different skin color and different race doesn't mean he should be judged just by that

Bob Ewell

"He stood up and pointed his finger at Tom Robinson. '—I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin’ on my Mayella!'"

Tom Robinson Trial

True or False

Effect

Meaning

Matter

This proves how non-educated and bad mannered this man is

This quote is true because, although evidence says otherwise, Tom is proven guilty

This mattered more toward Tom because 1. Bob pointed at him (no manners) and 2. He is very wrong

The meaning of this quote is how, without proof, anyone can point and accuse a black man and win a trial
