For example: People judged Royce for being a black, homeless teen. But after they got to know him (and after he started guarding their plants,) the gardeners found out that he is actually a nice person. And they wanted to take care of him.]]> 2018-02-01 12:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227003945 Racism https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227004821 If you judge someone by their race, you could miss out on new friendships with other people.

Amir's chapter - If the garden was segregated then Amir would not have made friends with the polish woman, but the polish woman also would not have made friends with Amir.]]> 2018-02-01 13:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227007074 Stereotyping https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227007155 You shouldn't form an opinion on someone without getting to know them, whether it's good or bad.

Also, when the woman was being chased by a robber, Amir and two other men chased after the robber and helped the women- even though they didn't know her.
Another example was when the man who slept in garden was mad, and ripped out everybody's plants, all the present members of the garden protected it and helped those whose plants were ripped out.]]> 2018-02-01 13:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227015005 Community bhennessy3 https://padlet.com/wdandrea/rvo0twai54jf/wish/227015245 The garden started to form a small community.
