Mayella Ewell is used in the story to comprehend the poorer class of people in the story and their struggles through the 1960s. When Tom Robinson testifies, Scout thinks to herself that Mayella must be the loneliest person in the world.

The internet was a rare asset I was only able to access at school or in a public library. Food was hard to come by, and when we did have food, it was cheap and highly processed. When I was in fourth grade, my head sprouted grey hairs as a result of either malnutrition or stress, or both.
