Question

If Bob Ewell is told to "get back to your dump", what does that mean for Mayella?

Answer 1

Answer:

It means that Mayella's life will not change even if the man she accuses is convicted at trial.

Explanation:

This question is about "To kill a mockingbird" where we are introduced to a story where a black man is accused of abusing a white woman in a southern community. That white woman is Mayella Ewell and the accusation is unfair, since the man is innocent. Mayella and Bob Well, her father, live in very low quality of life. They don't have a job, they don't have a good house, they don't have the least comfort and they have almost no food to eat, but somehow they act as if their lives would change if the black man were condemned, but it won't since after the trial is over, they will return to the "garbage dump" that is their life and the way they survive.
