Chapters 25-27
Perspective: Bob Ewell

Atticus Finch. His name alone boils my blood. He took everything from me. I didn't have much before, but now even my good name is ruined. He took the first job I've had in years, he wouldn't even give an honest man an honest days work. Allegedly I'm the abusive father, that's the town's assessment. But they shouldn't be talkin' with their painted holes. They don't know how small those welfare checks are, and how much works they makes us good sumaritans do fors such a small buck. We Ewells been persecuted since the wife kicked the bucket. I consented to do their work, but there's no use of it.

At least now Robinson is dead. A heap of inconveniences he was.Wouldn't even take the blame for a white mans crime, those people getting to high and mighty. What right do they think they have? Well, one down, two to go.

What do you think of Bob Ewell as a person?
