In chapter 3 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," we learn that the Ewell family lives by their own rules and neglects social norms. They are portrayed as a family that is not integrated into the community in a conventional way; they do not adhere to the expectations of society, particularly in terms of education and behavior. Burris Ewell's appearance and attitude in school highlight the family's lack of concern for traditional values, which sets them apart from other families in Maycomb.
