In the book "To Kill A Mockingbird" there was a trial that took place. The trial was about how Mayella Ewell acused Tom Robinson of raping her. Through the chapter 19 Mayella had a hard time staying on topic. An example is on page 183 paragraph 3 Atticus said "yes don't you know anyone near your age, or older, or younger? Boys and girls? Just ordinary friends?" Mayella hostility, which had subsided to grudging neutrality,flared again, "You makin' fun o'me agin, Mr.Finch?"
What I feel was wrong throughout the trial was Mayella was putting her personal feelings in the case and feeling insulted. What should have happened was Mayellla should have stated what happened and answered the questions accordingly. My opinion towards Mayella is she is probably my lest favorite character
A current event is similar to the trial would be how all Muslims are terrorists, many people are racist towards them because of what happened to Paris and twin towers . Just like during the trial they were being racist because of Tom's race.
