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.

So, he thought he would eat the mouse just because of that, he never even new the mouse. The lion overlooked the mouse and didn’t get to know him. In the middle, the lion said “You?

No matter what your size you can always be helpful in some way. Towards the end, even the though the lion thought the little mouse was worthless, he actually saved his life when he chewed through a hunter’s net that the lion was trapped in. The mouse didn’t let there differences get in the way of being nice. People that are different can surprise you and do something amazing with their differences that you …show more content…
“The lion and the mouse” is a fable so it teaches us in a much shorter way. A little mouse tells a lion that someday it will help him and the lion doesn’t believe a tiny mouse can help a big lion like him. Then, the lion gets caught in a hunter’s net and the little mouse comes to save him by chewing through the ropes. However, “Wonder” is a chapter book so it teaches us not to judge in a longer way. A boy named August has a face that looks very different. There are lots of challenges and lots of people judge him because he is really different. Not judging people will make a huge difference in the world. Will you be the one that makes a

The book freak the mighty is about how you can’t judge people by the cover.For an example I seen my friends best friend walked up to my friend and said she is weird.Then he noticed that it was his best friend being herself.This is kinda like the book when freak thinks max is a tall and mean but when you get to know them they are way different from the way they look on the outside from the inside.This is why you can’t judge a book by its cover because people are different on the inside then on the outside.
You have a leader and twenty followers . Just because you don't quite have the same exact features as the same person next to you doesn't mean that you need to be like them or you are ugly . Younger people feel that way today . I feel that if we didn't judge people based on beauty , and do judge them on heart then the world would operate more smoothly . Everyone desires to fit in , because if you don't you will not have any friends .
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.

Many times in society, people tend to create different stereotypes or view people as “different” or “unusual”. People are constantly judging before considering facts and other valuable information. Sadly, most victims that are being judged are wrongly convicted. The idea of judging and characterizing a person by how he/she looks, seems to be typical and common. Very few people in today’s day and age take the time to discover the true qualities of a person who may be convicted and is either behind bars or being judged for things they have never done. Sometimes, the people who are being as weird, inferior or irrelevant tend to become extremely important and even influential in books, movies and real life. Similarly, in Harper Lee’s novel, To
What truly is the “American Dream”? Furthermore, during the Great Depression, even the concept of the “American Dream” was not readily available and was no more than a fallacy at the time. For the 2 protagonists in Of Mice And Men, their dream, like many others, was to “live off the fatta the land” and become independent. However, this was not such an easy task at the time, not just because of the rough economic times, but because people of that era still had World War 2 still very fresh in their minds, with the harbored hatred and untrust that came along with it. Nevertheless, for the millions who died in the course of the war, this “American Dream” was not only something worth living for it was something dying for too. However, in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the author emphasizes that the dreams and hopes were delusions and has a grim outlook on living life in search of a dream.
In life people judge other people it is a fact of life and unfortunately that will most likely never change. In “Maus” by Art Spiegelman Vladek the main character is judged through the eyes of different people as the hero and the villain. In different cases Vladek has to adapt to the situation that he is in and can not rely on others. In this story the different characteristics spilt into hero, survivor and villain.
Appearance does not portend everything, but in most cases, is the quality that is judged predominately. Cyrano is an astonishingly intelligent, and well-spoken man, but has unappealing looks. His appearance affects his self-confidence considering that he believes everyone looks at him as being an ugly individual. When Roxanne is explaining the man, she is in love with, Cyrano assumes she is explaining his characteristics, until she says “his face shines with wit and intelligence, he’s proud, noble, young, fearless, handsome…” (Cyrano de Bergerac, Rostand, pg. 77). Cyrano hears that the man is handsome and loses all hope, because to himself he is not considered handsome. Having been judged about his physical features, his self-confidence is poor. Although, he believes his outer beauty decides on how people envision him, he is a very intelligent individual and has marvelous inside qualities, which many people recognize and respect. If only he could realize that his outer beauty is not nearly important as his inner beauty, maybe then he could see how important his strongest qualities are.
To not judge someone by their appearance is an important idea in the film because it teaches how it may affect the person you are judging and how damaging it could be for someone’s mental state.
We know how much the look matter, but many times our judgments are hasty. At the beginning of the book, we had a character, Ana, who used to make judgments based on appearances. For instance, when she saw Kim hiding something in the garden, she was almost about to call the police since she thought that Kim is hiding a gun. These days we have a lot of people like Ana, and many times we suffer consequences from these judgments. Thus, before making any predictions or judgments about someone, we have to be careful and think about consequences.
In the novel Lord of the flies by William Golding, Golding examines social order and behavior in young adolescents. In group dynamics perceived “difference” often lead to a character being ridiculed and shunned because of their physical description. This practice is related towards the best within and is proven by Golding throughout the awarded winning novel. Golding demonstrates throughout the book that the other characters do not respect Piggy because his physical appearance is different from there’s and because he is a parental figure they don’t listen to what he says, realization that Piggy was more than his appearance was shown near the end of the novel this helps show that a person's perceived “difference” can lead to others not listening to what they have to say.

People often judge or misperceive others appearances in a less than equal manner before they even know the true nature of the person. Every day we make assumptions by what we can see physically. Even in the supermarkets, we distinguish good products from bad products based on how they look. We are apt to choose good-looking products because they don’t have flaws, cracks, and bruises. Moreover, we assume them to have good qualities and good tastes. Actually, taste doesn’t deal with its looking. However, we bias in favor of assuming human nature. Since people judge human beings based on how they look, it is called prejudice. In fact, prejudice just disadvantage
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.
