Compare and contrast the description of the Ewells' home and the Black neighborhood nearby.

Although, the black neighbourhood was poor, it was also very neat and tidy. The people who lived there took pride in what they had. The Ewell's home is contrasted by reflecting the family itself:

"The cabin's plank walls were supplemented with sheets of corrugated iron, its general shape suggested it's original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a shotgun hall, the cabin rested uneasily upon four irregular lumps of limestone. Its windows were merely open spaces in the walls, which in the summer were covered with greasy strips of cheese cloth to keep out the varmints that feasted on Maycomb's refuse."
