First impressions are not always right. This is what this essay is about, and my opinion is that you should not judge even though it's hard not to. I've stereotyped and judged a person by their looks, but I was wrong and it made me feel bad. He was a good guy and he became one of my best friends. This is a 12 Angry Men essay about all the stereotyping and judging someone by their looks that is on trial in the

The character Iggy Lee is first described as a “Big hairy dude with a beer gut and a bunch of blue tattoos. He has a beard that looks to be made of barbed wire.” If we were judging solely on his appearance, we might assume that he is big, mean, and bad. In fact, when we first see him, he looks like a hairy brute. Iggy Lee also seems scary by the way “He is always yelling at Loretta to shut up.”

At first, Max didn’t have any friends; he was just felt alone and had nothing to do. But then, Kevin comes along and everything changes. Max and Kevin start talking and soon they become “Freak the mighty.” Kevin is Max’s brain and Max is Kevin’s legs. As the story continues, Max and Kevin became closer and closer. The two also start going on “quests” to help others while pretending they are knights. Near the end of the story,

Some people never change their entire lives. That is one of the themes in the realistic fiction novel Freak the Mighty by Rodman Philbrick. In the book Freak, a child with morquio syndrome, and Max, the main character, become close friends and go through many struggles such as Max’s father, Freak getting sick, Blade, and many others. As two children’s friendship blossoms, you will come across many themes.In my opinion, as I read deeper into the book I found two main ones. I found that everything that matters in a person is invisible to the eye, and that some people never change. These themes are so important in life.

First we are going to start with motive. When Max’s parents died in a freak skydiving accident, Max inherited 12.4 million dollars. So when Ray found out that he was in Max’s will for the 12.4 million dollars he was excited.Ray was only friends with him for

The character maxwell kane is first described as “Im not big,”i say.”thin way your like two feet taller than me.” In fact,when we first see him, “I invented games like kick-boxing and kick-face and kick-teachers and kick-the-other-little-day-care-critters” (page 22). “Called kicker for a time-this was day care,the year gram and grim took me over-and i had a thing about booting anyone who dares to touch me” (page 1).Then when max meets kevin (freak) and max is caring about kevin.max states “and so i just sort of reach down without thinking and i pick up freak and set him on my shoulders.” this shows

Max and Kevin’s friendship made each other stronger in their own ways. For example Freak struggled with his size and how to act around other kids. Freak’s mom, the Fair Gwen, showed her worries toward Kevin’s size as Max narrates on page 20, “...the Fair Gwen grabs Freak and puts him in the wagon and I swear, she almost runs home, like if she dosen’t get away quick something really bad is going to happen”( Philbrick 20). This shows how much the Fair Gwen worried about freak before he became friends with Max. But in the end of the novel the Fair Gwen is trusting Freak because of his friendship with Max. Their friendship also made Max stronger whether it be his reading problems or his insecurity about his height and dad. As Max narrates on page 5,

A Scottish Proverb once said, “Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be under a poor coat.” This quote applies to the theme of the novel,“The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle” by Avi. The theme is don’t judge a book by its cover and in the quote, it says to not judge someone by appearances because they might be different than what you think. The first example is shown on page 24, “One always needs a final friend.”

In the book Freak The Mighty we learn not to judge people by first impressions or looks because you can find a new friend. Max is a really big kid that becomes best friends with a small kid named Kevin with a disability called morquio syndrome. Max was more than triple Kevin's size but Kevin didn’t really care and he

In the novel, Freak and Max become like brothers by how they act toward one another as if they are family. Freak states, ‘“We are Freak the Mighty, that’s who we are. We’re nine feet tall, in case you have not noticed’”(Philbrick 40). That statement shows that Freak and Max have a strong bond and they are proud of being friends. Then, Max says, ‘“I swear on the dictionary if Freak ever tries to eat Chop Suey again, I’ll dump it on his head or something”’(Philbrick 87). That statement proves to the reader that Max cares for Freak and will do whatever it takes to protect him. Finally, Max says

In fact, the same goes for Freak. Yet, at the same time, he is the opposite of Max, but in a good way. Standing at a near two feet tall, and having the intellectual capability of a genius, Freak can complete Max’s shortcomings. Unfortunately for Freak, not everyone is like Max, willing to like and accept him. He has been left out and laughed at his whole life

After some time, Max discloses that he has been involved in multiple sexual relationships and says he “can get in any woman’s pants.” He also brags that he is smarter than anyone in the group, regardless of the fact that one person has a PhD in

How could I ever judge someone by what they looked like rather than who they are? This is by far the biggest lesson I have learned

When I was only a little girl, I had been told that true beauty came from within. Yet as I grew up, I noticed that looks mattered. From their attractiveness, race, age, or gender, anyone’s image was always up for scrutiny. Under those circumstances, I grew up thinking that if people were to judge me based on my appearance, that I should judge them the same way. Though, as I became older, I at some point learned that how a person looked wasn’t always in their range of control. A person simply isn’t born with the choice of picking what they look like, nor are they born with the choice of having a genetic disorder or disease. In that case, I believe that nobody should be defined purely based on what they look like.
