The passage discusses stereotypes and false judgments in Barbara Kingsolver's novel The Poisonwood Bible. It provides two examples from the novel where characters are judged based on stereotypes: 1) The Kilanga boys do not respect Leah Price as a teacher because of the stereotype that women should not be educators. 2) Nathan Price does not think daughters should go to college, believing education is wasted on women, showing his stereotypical views. The passage argues that judgment is always influenced by stereotypes, which leads to false feelings and notions.
