Short Expository: Being Different

I very much agree that a book should never be judged by its cover. But like all things, the way you present yourself to other people does matter, just like first impressions. It’s the act of letting it be all that matters that is a predicament. And there’s always more to someone than meets the eye. For example, judging by my grades, some people naturally assume that grades are all that matter to me. Failing to notice that I love to play and watch sports and be involved in other activities. While at the same time, not knowing how much I love volunteering or helping other people. I wouldn’t exactly say it’s the most surprising thing about me, but it is something that lots of people don’t know. Just like how they also don’t know how much I love

There was a time back in grade school when I was people had the unjust judgment of who I am as a person because I was a little different from everyone else. I have always been bigger in size than most people and that hasn’t changed today. I would wear different attire than other people because of the area I grew up in and the size of me. I would also be into hip hop music because of who I grew up with; however, I was the only one that only listened to hip hop because everyone was raised to not listen to the language they spoke in those songs. When I was a kid and didn’t dress or look like everyone else it would be difficult for me to be included in some groups either out of fear by some of the smaller

In the world filled with so many different and diverse people, there are some individuals who are just so extraordinarily strange or gifted. These people may be part of a group where they belong in, or they may be an isolation from social life. People and outsiders of society and groups are both misjudged and misunderstood by strangers, friends, and families.

In order to get the help I needed, my mom had to pick me up two hours early from school every day and bring me to Anderson Elementary, where the speech therapist was located. Being forced to leave school early didn't help my social issues. The friends I had turned on me, and I became the weird girl. I no longer had people to eat lunch with, and invitations to birthday parties stopped arriving in the mail. I was mocked on a daily basis by people I had previously considered to be friends. Everyone had their own conspiracy theories about me; it hurt. Along with my new-found social struggles, my grades began to drop and I knew I had to make a

In our society everyone expects to be the same, however, no one is ever going to be the exact same. Everyone has different beliefs and different interests. Today people judge the nice stuff people can afford and the way people dress. In the story, “The Doll’s House”, there were two girls known as the Kelvey sisters and they were really poor. “They were dressed in “bits” given to her by the people for whom she worked” (Mansfield 203). Nowadays people judge you on appearance and if you are dressed sloppy you are more likely to be made fun of. If you cannot afford the up to date things people have a reason that they don’t want to talk to you. If you are wealthy you are more likely to be judgmental. Not all people are like this but it is known

People are judged for their appearance all over the world, every day. People with brown, ragged clothes are assumed to be less intelligent, or homeless. People with long hair are assumed to be female. There are many stereotypes that limit the social actions of many people, and it is not just in real life. Rodman Philbrick shows that these stereotypes are not always true in the book “Freak The Mighty” in the form of Maxwell Cane, Kevin, Loretta, and Iggy Lee. All of those characters are misjudged by others, and in some cases, even by themselves. The message that your appearance does not determine who you are is very important, and applies to everyone everywhere.

We all have been young, with our parents telling us not to judge a book by its cover. However, we still do. Stereotyping has started to become a huge problem, not just in my hometown but all across the nation. This is happening every day, from someone’s personality to a person’s skin color. Society has put people in groups, and associating certain things, with each type of person. In the story “Brownies,” by, ZZ Packer they judge Troop 909 once they got off the bus off of looks, without thinking about personalities or issues that they might have which brought out the theme of not judging a book by its cover.

Is it correct to judge a book by its cover? For centuries people have been judged by their

Society will judge your appearances based on the outside just because society doesn't know what is on the inside. The novel, “The Outsiders” written by SE Hinton is based on two big characteristics, loyalty and appearance. Loyalty and appearance are shown in many examples throughout the book, and how they affect the two different gangs. The story retains many examples on the characters looks and how they are stereotyped just because of the way their appearances, also just by the way they decide to dress.

Everyone wishes they could be perfect, but sometimes this is not the case. You learn as you get older that everyone has flaws. People have all different tastes, opinions, likes, and dislikes. No matter how people may look, the readers learn in Corduroy that it's wrong to judge people based on their appearance.

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.

I developed a hatred for school. I would escape from classrooms, and I was constantly in

Have you ever judge someone on the outside? It not nice. It doesn’t matter of how they look or what they wear, it matters on the inside like how they act or how nice they. The Vain Jackdaw by Rob John and Wonder by R.J. Polaccio shows it doesn’t matter on the outside it matters what’s on the inside. These two books show that you shouldn’t judge someone of how they look, always judge what’s inside a person.

Isabella Thompson Period F Mrs. Gillespie 20 March 2015 Senior Paper “Those who love you will never leave you, no matter what your imperfections may be”-anonymous. In the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, victor Frankenstein creates a creature that victor becomes embarrassed of. The creature begins to develop a need for intimacy once he finds that his creator never fully loved him. The creature is born in the sense of a fully grown newborn; however, despite its size, it knows nothing of the world. It can be argued that the creature's mind is like a "blank space" and that it only learns to be good or bad from the experiences the creature has to face.

During those times I was hanging out with the wrong crowd. It wasn’t until something bad happened that I understood what I was doing. Maybe I did know what I was doing but didn’t bother to actually realize. Not only did I harm myself but also those who loved and cared for me.
