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 first example is shown on page 24, “One always needs a final friend.”
You shouldn’t trust everyone. This is shown in “Young Goodman Brown” by Washington Irving, and “ The Devil and Tom Walker”by Nathaniel Hawthorne. This idea is developed through the characterization, plot and setting. People should not always trust everyone they are around because they sometimes cannot be trustworthy.
“Judgement” is an episode from the series Angel, which was directed by Michael Lange. This episode is full of action, drama, and fantasy. It is based on the people having the judgement about other on their appearance. On the other hand, the fantasy novel “Fool Moon” is written by Jim Butcher. “Fool Moon” is the novel which follows the character of Harry Dresden, who is known as professional wizard. It also shows Dresden being skeptical in telling the truth about what is happening in the surrounding to other people, especially to women (Kim and Murphy). It is also said that we should never judge the book by its cover, in the same way, we should never judge the people by their appearance.

One time that I have judged a book by its cover or judged a person by the way they look is once in elementary school.There was a girl in a wheelchair I didn’t know her she wasn’t in my class and I thought that she would be (don’t mean to be mean) stupid. But then one day I saw her sitting alone with her adult helper and I thought I’d be nice and sit with her. And she wasn’t stupid at all she was really smart and nice so I started hanging out with her and even had a few of my friends became her friends to.The main idea of this essay is to not judge a book by its cover just like max didn’t judge freak by his appearance in “freak the mighty” by Rodman Philbrick
People judge one another by their physical attributes rather than the character of their personality. We build judgements and assumptions of people just by the way they look. That's just the sad reality of the world we live in. I have chosen to explore the theme “Don’t judge a book by its cover”, and this theme can be seen in the novels The Unlikely Hero of Room 13B by Teresa Toten, Are You Seeing Me? By Darren Groth, Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang and Wonder by R.j Palacio.
Have you ever thought about how people judge others without motives or reasons? Well this quite common in today’s world. We judge people by
Before reading Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink I knew that we judged other individuals around us based off of personal criticism. It has become an adapted instinct of our lives that we may not even be aware of, but we do it all the time. I used to think that we judged people because of the way our mind reacts in an instant second of meeting somebody new. However, after reading this book I learned that our reactions are not only quick based on instinct, but based on personal experience in something that has already existed in our lives.
Have you ever made a first impression about a person, but when you actually talk to or learn about the person you found out that what you thought, was completely wrong? Humans are always making assumptions based off what they see at that very moment. For instants, an athlete makes an error and a coach judge them for that error , yet that athlete is just having a bad day. Another would be someone meeting a person for the first time, and the way they act around you, makes you have a first impression of them. Not everyone that you meet, will be the same or have the same thought as you, nor will they always make a great first impression. It’s the little bit of time you spend with the person that you find out they’re different from what you was thinking. First Impressions can be very deceiving as shown in various British Literature pieces such as “Beowulf”, “Pride and Prejudice” and “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”.
INTRO: The phrase “do not judge a book by its cover” is a widely recognized idea the majority of people keep in their peripheral mind when introduced with a new idea. The initial perceptions we make solely on someone’s outward appearances are out of our control, as it is a natural connection our brain makes between presentation and character. Though we cannot control what we instinctually comprehend, keeping an open mind is important, especially when meeting someone new.
Derek Galipeau 1st Period Synthesis Essay Theme: People are often treated a certain way because of what they are and not who they are. Judgement based on appearances is something that we deal with every day of our lives. People are treated differently bases on their looks and appearances. This is shown in the short stories: “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, “Good Advice Is Rarer Than Rubies”, and “Apollo”. People often do not take the time to get to know someone and assume things about them.
Judging the unknown, that is what we as humans seem to do now instead of getting to know the person first. However, sooner or later we have to realize that in order to create a future worth living for we must stop and come together as one.
Learning plays an essential role in life. We learn something new everyday. In Frank O'Connor's short story "The First Confession", Jackie, the main character, learns a lesson he'll always remember. After Jackie's first confession, he could now be confident that he was not such a sinner, and that Nora, his sister, was wrong. While people focused on Jackie's own wrong doings, they weren't focusing on their own wrong actions. Sometimes people's ignorance can bring them into a whole different reality. Through certain characters and different incidents, O'Connor stresses his theme that people's ignorance can blind them from their own sins.
A famous person once said “Judging a person doesn’t define who they are. It defines who YOU are.” Don’t judge someone by how they look comes out in both of the stories “The Lion and the Mouse” by Rob John and “Wonder” by R.J Palacio. Both of the stories have characters that are different from others. Both of the characters get judged, but are very helpful in the end.
