Tell the Wolves I'm Home Pre-Reading

                       The quote "don't judge a book by it's cover" means to judge something by it's appearance and it's something people do everyday with or without realizing they are doing it.  I remember a time in intermediate school I judged this one girl because of the friends she hung out with.  When I ended up having class with her I thought I would hate it.  All because of the friends she would hang around.  I remember telling my friend about her and she was in the same situation.  I remember trying to ignore her and it just wasn't helping.  One day I had to sit by her in class and she ended up being really funny and nice.  We ended up becoming really good friends in the future and she was nothing at all how I expected her to be.  After I found out what kind of person she really was, I ended up feeling really bad for the way I judged her.  I was being rude to someone who I didn't even know.  That story ended up helping me in the future to try my hardest not to judge a book by it's cover.
                      It's very important not to judge someone by their "cover" because you may end up being very wrong about what you thought about them.  Sometimes you might be right, but a persons personality doesn't show on the outside; you have to get to know them on the inside first.  A lot of times you may find yourself surprised about what you actually learned about them rather than just judging them.  Sometimes, people judge other people without even knowing they are doing it, and I feel that people should try their hardest to stop judging people and get to know them first, if that happens we could have a whole lot of more friendships on earth.  I feel that it's not just teenagers that do this, but everyone, adults do it, little kids do it, even elders judge people.
                      I hope as time goes on, more people will stop judging books by their covers and start to read the book first.
