First impressions.....

Our friends from Lancaster PA have introduced themselves and let us know that even though they are from Lancaster they are not Amish. I must say when I hear mention of Lancaster, I immediately wonder if the people are Amish! First impressions.....

Here is a question that deals with how people think of others. It is central to the novel. In addition to your group questions, how about contributing your thoughts on this question

Prejudice, meaning pre-judge, is based on real or imagined differences between groups. It also "attaches values to those differences" (Facing History 16) in order to benefit one particular group. In what way or ways do the characters living in Maycomb show prejudice toward the following characters:
Boo Radley
Tom Robinson
The Ewell
