hungry children. He is prejudice towards Tom because his daughter ,Mayella, tempted him, and the two of them are trying to get him arrested for rapeing a white woman. In the town of Maycomb, it is a way of society that blacks and whites stay away from each other, not only did she break the code but her and her father, Bob, lied and put a innocent black mans life at steak. This shows how Bob is prejudice because he risks someone else's life, because of social prejudice (Ch.18).

judge someone before you know the real them.

What is Prejudice?

Victoria- I learned you should always put yourself in other people's shoes before you decide to gossip about them. I also learned that you shouldn't be prejudice to anyone.

Prejudice is judging a person based on their appearance , race , personality , and social standing without understanding or knowing all the facts.In To Kill A Mocking Bird, both Bob Ewell and Miss Stephanie Crawford are characters that are majorly prejudice. There are many forms of prejudice in the novel.

Miss Stephanie Crawford

How does prejudice affect the people of Maycomb?

Prejudice affects the people of Maycomb, Alabama because it is hurting the little relationship with Boo Radley that they have, and prejudice teaches the kids that "...all Negros lie, all Negros are immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women..." (Atticus. Ch. 20).

Miss Stephanie Crawford is the neighborhood gossip, and makes it her business to spread it. Most of the things she says is a rumor or an extreme exaggeration. Miss Stephanie Crawford is the Finch kids' main source of information about Boo Radley. For example, Miss Stephanie Crawford told the kids she woke up in the middle of the night and found Boo looking in the window at her (Ch.5). Miss Stephanie is socially prejudice to Boo because she doesn't know that he is really a innocent person. Overall, she is the type of person that people know not to listen to because she can't be trusted.
