Never Judge a Book by its Cover


Never Judge a Book by its Cover
Rafferty

A childhood story Beauty and the Beast, is very different to the book House Rules. Although there may be similarities both books depend on a kind heart which takes care of them.
House rules is about a child who has Asperger's syndrome and is fighting through his trials as Jacob was accused of murder of his tutor Jess. The trail takes place in a small town in the United States. He is looks like an ordinary boy from far away, but as you get closer to him, he does things differently as he thinks in a different way as others.
Beauty and the Beast is about a monster wanting his cursed to be removed only if someone loved him. Belle's father made a trade with the Beast that he would let him go if he brought Belle to him. She must go to the castle and stay with him forever. Even thought is human from the inside, he was cursed. He may look scary but he is kind from the heart and he would try to make others happy.
The two books have many differences as well as similarities. They both have characters who are very different from the others. Jacob has Asperger's syndrome and the Beast is a monster. Two of the characters are isolated from relationships with others. This relates to people from different races complaining about other races and being racist. Emma and Belle from both books, want to care for Jacob and the Beast as they want others to accept them. Therefore, a kind heart can make a difference for others.
Even thought these two books are very different, they both have similarities such as accepting other people. As a popular saying "Never judge a book by its cover," connects to these two books. They may have characters who are not accepted by others, but I hope that these books will inspire others to be nice and kind to others.
