We did the same question (number one), but our answers were different. You explained the trail situation very well, I think you grasped the situation. All Mayella knew was to lie so she wouldn’t be beat by her father. Mayella was put in a terrible situation because she was a sad, lonely person and she didn’t fit in amongst anyone else. Something Jem said about they black people didn’t like them because they were white and the white people didn’t like them because they lived with the black people relates to your picture, in my honest opinion. The Ewell’s are odd ones out and because Mayella was lonely she went to Tom Robinson for comfort but in this case it did not work out, and now Tom Robinson has been killed. This situation is sad, but Mayella didn’t have to lie. That resulted in her only friends death.
