Chapter 17

Key Events/Ideas 
  • Heck Tate testifies – Atticus makes him repeat that Mayella was beaten on the right side of her face  
  • Mr Ewell testifies – causes a ruckus – Reverend Sykes asks Jem to take Scout home because it is not suitable for her but he refuses 
  • Jem is very excited by the proceedings – certain that Atticus has "got him" 
  • Mr Gilmer objects when Atticus asks Mr Ewell if he can write but Judge Taylor overrules – shows Atticus' leverage over him and proficiency as they trust that Atticus is not time –wasting – even Mr Gilmer is described as "curious"
