Chapter 17 response:
A lot is learned about the Ewell home in this chapter. The family lives in a tiny, out-of-the-way, extremely run-down cabin outside of town near the dump. The fence is made of different things; "tree-limbs, broomsticks adn tool shafts, all tipped with rusty hammer-heads, snaggletoothed rake heads, shovels, axes, and grubbing hoes, held on with pieces of barbed wire." Animals and a undetermined amout of children are everywhere, all surrounded by trash and diseases. However, in one corner there is one thing very different. There Mayella keeps a garden consisting of geraniums planted neatly. The Ewell home tells a lot about the people inside.

Ch 18
Mayella and her father are very different people. Mr. Bob Ewell seems very tough, and has a hard core. He seems not to care much about his children. He is a mean man, and doesn't care what people think about him. Mayella seems a bit nicer. She does a lot of hrad work, and cares more fore here incredibly large family than her father does. Mayella also tries harder to make a good impression.
I think explaining the Ewell home really gives the reader an opportunity to picture the home in their mind. It's always good to get inside of a story and put yourself in there. It can help us understand the attitudes and feelings of all of the characters.
