Chapter 19 Role Play

Today we started Chapter 19 Role Play. Here's what we learned:

--Tom is 25 years old, has a wife and three kids, and has got in trouble with the law before.

--He knew Mayella because he had to pass by her house every day on his way to work.

--He liked to help her do her chores because he knew Bob Ewell (her father) and the rest of the children didn't help her out.. He did this all for free.

--Tom claims that Mayella actually came onto him! She made him grab a box on top of the chiffarobe to check him out and then grabbed him. She kissed him and then revealed that this was nothing compared to what her father did to her. This reveals that her "brothers" and "sisters" may actually be her own children.

--Tom reveals to Gilmer that he felt sorry for Mayella, which is a big no no. It implies that black people are better than white people because they feel pity for them.

We'll finish part II tomorrow!
