A: foreign, patronised. Mayella doesn’t fully understand the language Atticus uses to address her and she finds it foreign because she is uneducated. As a result, she feels patronised. Mayella mistakes Atticus’ kindness and manners for a condescending attitude. This is shown when she says, “long’s he keeps on callin’ me ma’am an’ sayin’ Miss Mayella. I don’t hafta take his sass, I ain’t called upon to take it”.

She's on trial to convict a man she knows is innocent, and she's worried for her life if they lose. |

Use a quote to support your answer. A: foreign, patronised B: disdainful, humoured C: offensive, misunderstood D: obscene, denigrated E: colloquial, honoured A: forgein, patronised. Mayella comes from a humble background and doesn't have much of an education, therefore the language Atticus uses is foreign to her. She feels patronized as a result of Atticus adressing her in his classic respectful manner because she has likely never been talked to in that way before, and also probably bevause she feels he is trying to make it seem like she is unintelligent and therfore her reccount of what happened is not credible |

A: foreign, patronised B: disdainful, humoured C: offensive, misunderstood D: obscene, denigrated E: colloquial, honoured A: Foreign, patronised- I believe that when Mayella Ewell feels very unsure of the language that Atticus is presenting her. This is a result of her being brought up on the farm and has had no education. Though Atticus is using his usual tact of 'gentleman talk' it makes Mayella feel unsure as she is not sure how to react. She does not know if she is being mocked or not. |

A, as she isn't accustomed to legal/formal speaking, and his "gentleman talk" results in her feeling patronised.
