To Kill a Mockingbird Trial Mayella Ewell POV P4 (Final Pt.)

I swear I’ll high tail me outta this town someday and find me some men finer than a frog’s hair split three ways. People in this lil’ town are crazy. I think maybe I understand somethin’ now, somethin’ I didn’t before, though I can’t quite put my finger on it.  Maybe niggers like  Robinson shouldn’t be treated in this way. But nobody’s e’er said somethin’ like this to me, Papa’s always said us white people are better than them blacks and thats how they should be treated, and everybody else treated them like how Papa said. But what if they’re wrong? They could be wrong couldn’t they? Maybe Mr. Atticus Finch is the only one who’s got it straight.

To Kill a Mockingbird Trial Mayella Ewell POV P3

Mr. Finch just put me on the stand and I’ll tell you, he’s scarier than a striped haint. I’m sweatin’ like a pig right now. I thought this ain’t gonna work out but Papa was so sure that it’ll be alright and now Mr. Finch is gonna figure everythin’ out. He’s a smart man, he is. I don’t know what to anymore. I sure don’t wanna go to jail. I shoulda ne’er said it was Tom Robinson, shoulda ne’er listened to Papa, now I’m all up in this mess. Robinson is a good man. This must be God’s way of punishin’ Papa and I for trashin’ on Robinson. Guess we shoulda just said we were wrong from the start, now its too late to anythin’. Sometimes I think maybe things will turn out just fine if we’d just let things be, but now we can’t back out. I just hope this would all be done.

To Kill a Mockingbird Trial Mayella Ewell POV P2

Today’s the day of the trial and I swear I’m all outta kilter. My mouth is dry enough to spin cotton and I reckon I should just sit there and don’t say no pea turkey squat. That’ll help my case better than me openin’ my mouth. Don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s rainin’ sayin’ that it’s gonna be alright, ya can’t make a silk purse out o’ a  sow’s ear.

To Kill a Mockingbird Trial Mayella Ewell POV P1

Hey y’all it’s dern near the trial and lemme be honest, if I had my druthers none of this would be happenin’. Papa’s been hollerin’ at me to get my story straight, you ain’t goin’ in half-cocked he said. I reckon that I’d have to give myself a good scrub and put on my sunday-go-t’meetin’ clothes t’please him. But ‘fore you get your cows runnin’ I just wanna say whatever...bad... thing you think I did, I didn’t. Y’all needa stop blamin’ on me and turn your eyes on him. I can’t even say his name. He ain’t got the sense he was born with if he thinks he can do what he did to me and walk away like it ne'er happened. The whole thing’s been more than I can say Grace over but Papa’s done a dandy job pushin’ me t’say what happened to me, what… that Robinson did t’me. Y’all think my Papa’s a bad man but he ain’t. Sure sometimes he comes back drunker than Cooter Brown and don’t got sense enough to pound sand into a rat hole and I’m plumb scared of it but Papa said family sticks together and he’s right about that. I’d do anythin’ if he asks me to.
