Question

What does Attucus make Bob Ewell do in the trial

Answer 1

During the trial, Atticus has Ewell write his name on a sheet of paper. This is to prove that Ewell's dominant hand is his left hand, therefore it was he who punched the right side of Mayella's face, and not Tom Robinson (whose left hand has been deemed useless after a cotton gin accident). I hope I helped! :)

Answer 2

Atticus needs to prove that Bob Ewell is left-handed because Mayella had been hit on her right side. When he writes his name, the jury sees that he is left-handed and was therefore probably the one to hit...
