Quick Judgements
Opal makes a lot of quick judgments about some of the characters in the book, such as the Dewberry brothers, Otis, and Amanda Wilkinson. But as she gets to know them, her opinions change. Have you ever judged someone too quickly? Did you eventually change your opinion? What made you change what you thought? Why is it important not to "judge a book by its cover"?

I actuly have see once i was at school and there was a new student i thought he was weird but later we became really good friends.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I never judged anybody without getting to know them.It's important not to judge a book by the cover because the outside of something does not tell how the story or person's personallity or feelings really are.
ReplyDeleteAfter Opal found out about Amanda's little brother, Ms. Gloria said, "the whole world has an aching heart." I think this is true. Sometimes everything seems to be going wrong in our own life, and we feel like its not fair. However, you never know what other people are going through, so it's important not to judge them!
ReplyDeleteYou never know when you might miss out on a great friend if you judge someone too quickly!
ReplyDeleteI believe that a lot of people are very quick to pass judgement on people based on their clothing, hair style, etc. However, when we do this we are missing out on the real person. I agree with Mrs. Odom that we might miss out on a great person.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever seen someone and thought I didn't want to be their friend because they look different. I would talk to them and try to see what happens when we play together to see if we will be friends. I give everyone a chance. If I see someone being bad or not nice, I pick another friend. I should give them another chance though.
ReplyDeleteJocelyn.p said the Dewberry's was being nice to opal amannda was happy she got invide to the party
ReplyDeleteI have formed opinions of people in the past. I did change my mind after getting to know them. Sometimes people can seem rude or scary, but after you talk to them, they aren't. Just because they look a certain way, doesn't mean they act that way. If you judge someone by their "looks" you might end up missing out on a good friendship.
ReplyDeleteI try not to judge people by the way they look or how they act the first time I meet them. I give everyone a chance. Sometimes you meet people who might be having a bad day and act mean to you but I always give them another chance.
