Poor Little Guy Didn't Stand A Chance....

I do realize that my Snowman isn't completely correct because it
does not have a sunhat or hedge-clippers. You see, a picture of a muddy-snowman with a sunhat and a pair of hedge-clippers is rather hard to find. So this is where your imagination comes in with those small details.


I posted this picture becuase I kind of felt sorry for the snowman and
its short-lived life, due to the house fire and hoses.



"I watched our absolute Morphodite go
black and crumble; Miss Maudie's sunhat settled on top of the heap. I could not see her hedge-clippers." (pg.70)


Dill.


Dill was a very interesting and happy little guy. In the book it states , "As he told us the old tale his blue eyes would lighten and darken; His laughwas sudden and happy;he habitually pulled at a cowlick in the center of his forehead."
Okay well maybe he's older in the book....but he's cute right??

Tom Robinson: Who is He?


Maybe I just haven't read far enough into the book to learn more about Tom the man Atticus is representing, but it seems to me for how important of a character he is becoming little information is given about him. If you have read far enough to learn more about him then please inform me. If you haven't read far enough then I ask you, what do you think he is like in person?

Mr. Ewell..... quite like a hobo





in the book mr ewell is even like the lovable country bumpkin cletus from the simpsons. they both live by the dump in rundown shacks and have realtions with close relatives.

in the book they also talk about hot mr. ewell is described as a person that bathes once a year... not unlike a hobo in a sense ...... see

The Case Interest~



"It was a gala occasion. There was no room at the public hitching rail for another animal, mules and wagons were parked under every available tree. The courthouse square was covered with picnic parties sitting on newspapers, washing down biscuit and syrup with warm milk from fruit jars. Same people were gnawing on cold chicken and cold fired pork chops. The more affluent chased their food with drugstore Coca-Cola in bulb-shaped soda glasses..." (Page 160)

Poor Mayella...

Mayella is a lonely girl, who is still suffering from the neglect that she has recieved from father and siblings. She just wants to feel accepted by her father and everyone around her! I feel that she is starving for the attention that she never had. That explains Tom's story when he mentioned that she was trying to seduce him. She just lacks the feeling of acceptance and approval from her father. I also think that Mayella is one of the mockingbirds in this story. I believe she is just trying to cover up the shame that has built up throughtout the years. Poor Girl!
AUNT ALEXZANDRA- "Today was Sunday, and Aunt Alexzandra was positivly irritable on the Lord's day. I guess it was her Sunday corset . She was not fat, but solid, and she chose protective garments that drew up her bosom to giddy heights, pinched in her waist, flared out her rear, and managed to suggest that Aunt Alexzandra was once an hour-glass figure. From any angle, it was formidable." (pg128)
