1. “ Tom Robinson’s powerful shoulders rippled under his
thin shirt. He rose to his feet and stood with his right hand
on the back of his chair. He looked oddly off balance, but
it was not from the way he was standing. His left arm was
fully twelve inches shorter than his right, and hung dead at
his side. It ended in a small shriveled hand, and from as

him.”

crippled arm.

cock of a man rose and strutted to the stand, the back of
his neck reddening at the sound of his name. When he
turned around to take the oath, we saw that his face was
as red as his neck. We also saw no resemblance to his
namesake. A shock of wispy new-washed hair stood up
from his forehead; his nose was thin, pointed, and shiny;
he had no chin to speak of—it seemed to be part of his
crepey neck.”

particular look to him.

then you’re all yellow stinkin‘ cowards, stinkin’ cowards,
the lot of you. Your fancy airs don’t come to nothin‘—your
ma’amin’ and Miss Mayellerin‘ don’t come to nothin’, Mr.
Finch—”Then she burst into real tears. Her shoulders
shook with angry sobs. She was as good as her word.”

Tom Robinson raped her.
Boo Radley 274 direct

1.” I looked from his hands to his sand-stained khaki
pants; my eyes traveled up his thin frame to his torn
denim shirt. His face was as white as his hands, but for a
shadow on his jutting chin. His cheeks were thin to
hollowness; his mouth was wide; there were shallow,
almost delicate indentations at his temples, and his gray
eyes were so colorless I thought he was blind. His hair
was dead and thin, almost feathery on top of his head.”
2. Scout describes Boo as a thin pale frame, a long cry from the
terrible monster they made out of him.
