Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover


There are two ways to look at the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover." The first way I looked at was to not judge a book by looking at the cover, but actually relating to a book. An example of that happened to me when I was reading A Wrinkle in Time. The cover look horrible: three little figures floating in a background of blue. I started reading the first sentence, which my teacher told me was a good way to judge a book without reading it all. However, the first sentence was not attracting at all. I still stuck to it as I read the boring beginning. I almost decided to give up on on the book when I gave it one last try. The, middle was so amazing that I couldn't put it down. When finished the book, I was glad I didn't judge the book by its cover.

The second meaning to "Don't judge a book by its cover" is to not rated something by the outside, but the inside. One example is the time When I was in second grade. There was this guy that no one liked because he always wore these weird t-shirts! And this generated a lot of judgments and comments from other students. He was accidentally sitting with me at lunchtime. I started talking to him and became friends with him. He was actually really nice. He lent me pencils, erasers, books, and markers. I was happy I got in contact with him at that lunch table. Next year, when I was in third grade, he was well-liked by other students too. In conclusion, you should never judge a book by its cover.
