The Ewells had been the disgrace of Maycomb County for three generations. None of the members of this family had ever done something honest or good. The Ewells had created their own society, which was to live as they pleased.
“They were people, but they lived like animals.” (30) I agree with this statement with the appearance and personality Burris Ewell had during school. His neck was dark gray, the backs of his hands were rusty, and his fingernails were deep black. This means that Burris is a person, but was not clean, had no respect, and was “mean,” based on what Little Chuck said.
The Ewells are not organized or clean. This family needed hunting for their survival. They even hunted out of season, which was breaking the law. This family does not care of what others think of or say about them. I think that people should know how to listen to their points of view, think about how the Ewells feel, and not just agree with all the gossips around Maycomb.
The immoral Ewells are the kind of people who you shouldn’t have a similarity, in Maycomb. They live miserably, objecting the environment, and making one by themselves.
“He said that the Ewells were members of an exclusive society made up of Ewells.” (Lee 30)
The Ewells do things they shouldn’t do. Burris go to school just the first day and Mr. Ewell hunts out of season.
“Of course he shouldn’t, but hell never change his ways.” (Lee 31)
They don’t bother to change their unsuitableness, isolating themselves to the society. They are the disgrace of Maycomb.
The Ewells were a very poor family in Maycomb. There is only a father in the famliy and many other kids who just run wild and filthy. They are said to live like pigs. They are also said to have mad morals such as telling the truth or being good, like Sora said.
There is an Ewell in Scout's class, but he only came one day of the year because he was too dirty to attend class. After he is told to leave the class, he insults the teacher. This shows that the family does not inforce having manners and has no manners.
The Ewell's are the filthiest, worst mannered, uneducated family in all of Maycomb. The children always come the first day of school, then never come back because the think that they don't need to go to school. And besides that, they never take baths or clean themselves. They probably donnot have the money to even buy anything to clean themselves. The Ewell's are also very disrespectful and are liars. As seen in court.
I really liked how Sora said the Ewells were. I agree with all the facts that Sora said and how she interpreted it. The Ewells do not follow the rules and do not have manners at all.
I have to agree with Sora about the Ewells being THE disgace of Maycomb County since they have never done anything good to other nor have they been honest. We can find evidence of this in the book in many ways. The best reason is that the Ewells never go to school. No person is able to achieve anything (or at least it will be hard for them) without going to school. They don't learn how to behave, read, write etc. And reading and writing is important in order to mantain contact with the outside world or with important people. This then makes it hard to have a higher status in a country or town. They also had low living standards and rarely washed. But infortunatly, the most unsuccessfull white, had higher rank than the richest black person.
