Lit Luminary P.182 Paragraph 1 & 2 I chose these because Mayella had never been called Ma’am and thought she was being insulted. 2. P. 186 Paragraphs 1-3 I chose these paragraphs because they tell it wasn’t Tom that beat her. Tom couldn’t of beat Mayella with his left hand because he got it caught in a Cotton Gin. 3. P. 196 Last four paragraphs I chose these paragraphs because his employer talks how Tom worked for him for eight years and never had a problem with him. Judge Taylor had Mr. Link Deas leave the courtroom. 4. P. 194 Paragraphs 4-End of page I chose these because it talks about why he was in the house and when Mr. Ewell saw him there and that she was trying to hug him. Mr. Ewell freaked out on her and called her names and said he’d kill Tom and Tom took off running. 5. P. 195 Paragraph 4 I chose this because Mr. Gilmer is saying he shouldn’t feel sorry for her. Like why would you ever feel bad for her??
