Lanval’s generosity surfaces in the way he grants pardons to prisoners, passes gifts to individuals and being hospitable to all without reservation (Burgess et al, 75).

Since it is much easier for a left handed person to hit another person on their right, we can reach the conclusion that Miss Mayella was most likely beaten by someone left handed. Tom Robinson now stands, taking the oath with his right hand, which is the only good had that he possesses.
