Welcome to Book Cheats! Thank you for your support and subscriptions. Let's get right into this
chapter of To Kill a Mockingbird. In this chapter, Tom Robinson is called to the witness stand to
give his testimony.
Tom's Background
Tom is 25 years old, has three kids, and works for Mr. D picking cotton and doing other jobs.
Atticus asks Tom about his past legal trouble, showing that Tom has nothing to hide.
Mayella's Requests for Help
Mayella first asked Tom for help about a year ago to chop a dresser for firewood, and he didn't
accept payment.
Tom continued to help Mayella daily because the Ewells were poor and the children were
starving.
Most of the children would watch Tom help out around the house.
Mayella talked a lot to Tom and seemed like the loneliest person on earth.
The Night of the Alleged Rape
Mayella called Tom over to fix a door, and he couldn't find any children around.
Mayella told Tom that she had been saving for a year to send her siblings into town for the day.
Mayella hugged and kissed Tom, and he tried to escape but was scared by Mr. Ewell's shout.
Tom never hurt Mayella, even when trying to escape.
