What methods does lee use to present the characters and events in this part of the trial?

Mr Ewell has been compared to a red little rooster “once more he was a red little rooster.” Mr Ewell has been compared with a red little roost as red can represent hate, anger and the warning of death as the color red symbolises blood which is foreshadowing death of Mr. Ewell later on in the novel. This is also reflecting upon Mr Ewell personality, who is out for blood for atticus who has humiliatied him before. The rooster represents pride  as the rooster are known for all ways keeping there head up high and never if not hardly changing their demnaure although this rooster is also described as  little which is an juxtaposition. As Harper lee is hinting that Mr Ewell is actually a coward.
