  1. Don't judge a book by its cover because even though something on the outside looks ragged beaten down and ugly or pretty impressing. It could be beautiful or ugly on the inside. it's important to realize that the person may look pretty or well dressed their fancy brand name clothes but a really on the inside it could be a dark and lonely on from the inside. it may not seem they are kind hearted and care because to the human eye outside they are dirt Because of stronger And prettier have thrown them down.

  2. I say don't judge a book by it's cover. “Don't judge a person on how they look”. So on the back of the book it said that max was growing faster than his brain. The it said freak had a big head for is body. But when the two get together they are unstoppable together. So people judged the two by there looks. So I say yes don't judge a book by it’s cover.

    A lot of people with disabilities are treated different and act different than other people. But it doesn’t mean that it is right to make fun of them they are just like you and me but the only difference is, is that they look and sound different than us, they are still people, and the people that are in wheelchairs, NO DIFFERENCE!!!!! Making fun of them or being weirded out by them is like making fun of yourself or getting weirded out by yourself. So if you are like me you will understand.

  4. I think that people with handicaps should get special treatment but they should not i am in the middle. I understand that some people need it but some people think that they need it because they won't front row parking. I think that they should give hand casings to people who need it like people who can't walk,in a wheelchair i think that is all the people who need a handicap.

  5. I think hand cap should be treated different because they are more different than use they are still people but I think they should be because some people be mean to the handicapped people and that is disrespectful and they should treat handicapped people the way the other people wanted to be treated

  6. I agree with the statement bullies come in all shapes and sizes because it doesn't mean that they are bigger and smaller it means that there are many ways to bullie someone like with words or physically.

  7. People who are handicapped should be treated differently Response

    I majorly disagree with this no one should be treated differently for any reason, Hi welcome to planet earth everyone is different get over it . Even if they are handicapped that is no exception to treat any one badly just because they act different look different of speak different! it's cruel to say horrible things to another human. I do think everyone should be nice to handicapped people, but never treat them like they are not smart just because they learn differently than us. -Cydnney L.

  8. Don't Judge a book by its cover.
    I do agree with this statement because it is not fair to the person that wrote the book. Also because if you probably start reading it it might seem cool not just because the front cover. You can also think of it like a human because a person has a cover to them to. The cover too them is like what they look like and their clothes to.

  9. “ Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” You don’t know that person. That person might look like the sweetest, nicest person in the whole wide world and be the meanest person you ever met. Or that person might look all dumb and have not very nice clothes and be really nice. So you always should never ever judge a person that you don’t even know. Met the person

  10. People who are different can be friends because, like if you are for example wired and the other person is friendly. It does not matter because, you are the way you want to be and your friend or friends will accept that. You will accept the way your friend or friends are too, everyone is cool, and awesome the way they are. People don’t need to change to fit in a popular group they don’t need to change to fit with anyone. It does not matter if you are wired, kind, friendly, nerdy, or those kind of things.What matters is if they treat you with respect and kindness.

  11. I disagree with the statement about bullies come in all shapes and sizes because not all bullies can be big they can be small and your just to scared. But bullies just try to act that they are tougher than you and you can’t do nothing about or they will think they are smarter than you. And I got to say some bullies are scary to you and all you have to do is just ignore them and you won’t get in trouble and just go to a teacher and tell someone that you are being bullied. I think that because it is all true I have been bullied and trust me it doesn’t feel good but once you tell someone that you are being bullied you can ignore them that is my opinion. I think this because I know that some people say that bullies come in all shapes and sizes but they are wrong because all bullies have different personalities.

  12. People judge people just by how they look it doesn't matter if people are short,tall,have a funny voice,if they are dumb or smart that's bullying and I don't like bullies because they feel bad inside and they make the person that their bullying feel the same why because the bully doesn't want anyone to know how he feels I think bullying is not nice because some bullies take it too far like if the bully said go and kill yourself people will actually do it I know because my friends was getting bullied this year and she wanted to kill herself and I wouldn't let that happen I helped her and now she is still alive because I stopped the bullying don't judge a book by its cover.

  13. Don't judge a book by it's cover. I agree with the statement. See You Can't Judge a Book by the Cover because the inside is what counts.

  14. People can be friends with anyone they want. They do not have to have anyone to tell them who should be there friends. Having friends that are different then you are, are great. It does not matter if they are good bad it matters that you at least have a friend to stand by you. A friend can do many things with you and you can have fun with the friend or you can sit and your house and stare at a wall. A friend can also be a big help in what you need. You can have a friend when you are alone when you need help, to tell secrets, and everything else that you are thinking. A friend can be everything you imagined.

  15. I think this is true because on the back of the book when I read it it said that “All his life he’d been called stupid. Dumb. Slow. It didn’t help that his body seemed to be growing faster than his mind. So Max learned how to be alone. At least until Freak came along. Freak was weird, too. He had a little body-and a really big brain. Together Max and Freak were unstoppable. Together, they were Freak the Mighty.” and that shows that Max and Freak are different because Max has a big body and a small brain and Freak has a really bid brain and a small body so they are different and I predict that they are friends because in the picture it looks like Freak is on top of Max’s shoulders and below the picture it says “Max. Freak. Best Friends. Forever.

  16. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover
    You should not Judge someone by there looks or how they act because you never know what’s going on in their lifes. Also you can’t start judging someone by only knowing that they love wearing black or because they act really quit, there is always a reason for why a person is who they are.

  17. don't judge a book by it's cover: It's not nice to judge a person by what they look like, you never know they might turn out to be your future friend you never know. It's mean to go around saying like that person looks like a re re or something like that, and if that person became your friend, and when you look back you're gonna feel bad about what you said.

  18. I agree with the last statement bullies can come in all shape and sizes Because it doesn't matter there body could be huge or small, because all they're doing is sucking the energy out of you and have the power. And making you feel terrible because they feel bad about themself and they don't notice that it doesn't matter what's on the outside it matters in the inside, But there inside may be full of jealousy or hate for you. But even if there bigger than you or smaller it should not matter because they're trying to make your boat let all of the water in and the water is your sadness.

  19. I agree with the statement don't judge a book by it's cover because if there was a mean person that judged people by the way they looked they would get really upset inside they could be good people inside.

  20. Bullys come in all shapes and sizes. I think that they can come in different sizes. Because they can be really small and can still bullies you. Or there can be some bullies that are really big and tall. They can also be really mean even if they're smaller than you and your bigger. Also they can be taller.

  21. People that are different than you doesn't mean you have to treat them like they are nothing. People just because they are small or look weird doesn mean you can be mean. kids that are mostly mentally insane or mental doesnt mean you can treat them like that if you were mentel then you would not like it if someone treated you like you treated them. Some people think that it's ok to treat people the way they look. Like when I was little and I think I was about in fourth grade we had a kid i'm not going to name and he wouldn't take and he was really shy and other kids would go up to him and try to make him talk they would say mean things to him to make him cry. When that was all going on I would try to make them leave him alone but they didn't want to. So then I went up to him and I asked can I be your friend because he had no friends because he would never talk to anyone. So then when I asked he whispered in my ear and said please no one likes me. So then I felt so bad that I said yes why not I want to be nice to him.

  22. People who are very different can be friends.

    Yes they can be friends if they wanted to! because if you and your friend were the same it would be a disaster, reason why I think that is because I have a friend exactly like me but we always fight its no fun being separated from her/him it would make you sad, I have experienced it with a girl name cydnney L. she was my best friend but now we are nothing but two bricks broken in half like two pieces of a puzzle not mached together

  23. I think that statement is a good one .The statement means you should not judge someone on their looks, you should know about them first before you judge them or not judge them at all. People always do that , people never learn.

And how they become freak the might they meet in chapter 12. throughout the book it was all about them. the other theme is all there adverseness.
