Gathering to read and learn with NEA Big Read event for Harper Lee's book?
Set in the South where the Bible is valued highly, author of To Kill A Mockingbird, set three women around Scout character to help her grow up - Calpurnia/Maudie/Alexandra - this model may have come from the Bible, but Harper Lee used the structure also found in the natural environment; kingdoms of mineral/plant/animal; roots/branches/leaves of plants; animal head/body/limbs; growing period of formation/growth/completion; gas/liquid/solid forms of matter.
Adult readers may focus so much on the novel's politics that they neglect the coming-of-age story and the three women created by the author who function as mother figures to Scout and Jem...what if Mayella had such?
I don't really understand the question, however, I've put together quite a few links that I hope will be of use to you.

Climax
The events in the novel build up to the singularly important and climactic scene of the courtroom, where Atticus tries to defend Tom Robinson from the allegations of Bob and Mayella Ewell. The tension is maintained throughout the trial as to whether Atticus would or would not win the case. Though the audience feels strongly for Tom’s plight and it is apparent that he is innocent, the jury delivers the verdict that Tom is guilty. The immediate response to this is extreme disappointment and dejection, but the jury’s verdict is final.
