Journal #6, perspective of Bob Ewell- chapters 16-19

Today was the day I had to go to the court house and testify against Tom Robinson the allegedly, the nigger who raped my daughter. I wanted that man to go o jail for the rest of his life because of what he did to my daughter. So when I get their the court room was as bright as day, and as hot as a bakery oven. So when the court case started the nigger lover called up the sheriff. So Atticus started asking irrelevant questions to the sheriff for a little bit and I thought that he was as dumb as a stack of peanuts. So then he started asking questions about the the what had happened to my daughter, and Atticus was asking harder and harder questions to the sheriff, but he was using a technique to get information out of the sheriff, so when Mr.Gilmer would ask a question he would be oblivious that he is asking the same question that Atticus asked the sheriff. When the sheriff was finished, Mr. Gilmer called me up too the stand and when I got their I didi not really care about them asking me questions. Mr.Gilmer started off asking me if I was the father of Mayella Ewell and to me that sounded like a dumb question so I said "well if I aint I cant do anything about it now, her ma's dead. Once I said that the judge looked benignly at me so when Mr.Gilmer asked the question again I said "yes". So then Mr. Gilmer asked me what happened in my own words on the evening of November twenty-first, I said that I was in the woods duing some hunting and I was coming back and I her Mayella scream like crazy so I was running to the house but the fence was blocking me from going to her and I saw some struggle between a man and Mayella and so I went over the gate and I saw, and I pointed to Tom Robinson and said, "that was the nigger who I saw running out of my house and so I started running after him but he was too fast so I ran back to my house and called the sheriff to tell him what had happened." Now it was Mr. Atticu's turn to aske me question. His first question was "did you witness Tom Robinson have sexual intercourse with your daughter " I sad "yes" but once I said that I saw Tom get up but then Atticus whispered something in his ear and Tom sat right back down. Atticus started asking me about how far I was from the window and if I had a clear view of the room and I said yes. The he asked me "do you remember the injury's of your daughter and I consented. So I had to explain all of the injury's that Mayella had so the last injury I said he asked me,"did she get hit in the right eye or the left and I said "she got punched with his left hand and hit her on her right eye." Atticus then asked me if I can read and right and I said "of coarse" and people thought that it was improbable that I can right my name but I did and prooved them wrong and wrote my name with my left hand and Mr.gilmer asked me if I can right with both hands and I said no. Then when I was about to leave the stand Atticus wants to ask me one more question, He asks "you did a lot of running that evening, how come you did not run to get a doctor," I said "wadn't no need, I seen what had happened." He asks me " but theirs one thing I don't understand why weren't you concerned with Mayella's conditions." I said " I most positively was," Atticus says "No I mean her conditions, did you not think the nature of her injuries warranted immediate medical attention?" Atticus kept on asking me the same question and I was getting nervouse about the question so then my time was up and I went out of the the witness stand and sat back down with everybody else.
