    The document provides a summary of examples of prejudice shown in the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. It discusses three key examples: 1) Bob Ewell's racist remarks showing his prejudice; 2) The jury convicting Tom Robinson despite evidence of his innocence due to his skin color; 3) The children making fun of and playing a game about Boo Radley due to the town's prejudice against him. The document argues that prejudice is prevalent throughout the many chapters of the novel and is what Maycomb County is built upon.
