A court reporter might write profiles of the following characters using these characteristics as guidelines:
Atticus Finch: A man of charisma and great respect for the law, Atticus holds himself with authority and kindness. His voice is calm and not at all forceful, and he often waits for silence before expressing himself.
Mayella Ewell: A young woman always looking over her shoulder, Mayella has the face of someone older than her years. She looks tired and suspicious, holding her body stiffly as if she is uncomfortable being looked at. Mayella's eyes are active, jumpy, and full of pain.
Tom Robinson: A confused man dressed in clean but torn clothing, Tom speaks softly and looks everyone in the eye when he addresses them. When he is not speaking, he looks down at the floor with a sad look on his face.
Mr. Ewell: A worn-out man, unkempt and sullen, Bob Ewell sits in a slouch as if to communicate disdain for the court and for the law in general. He hasn't bothered to shave or wash his hands, and he often makes noises under his breath when he hears something he doesn't like. He sneers at anyone who dares to look at him.
