I've never experienced such a profound impact on a book like I received by The Outsiders.“Never judge a book by its cover” is something I was always taught but why was I often judged base on my appearance? Throughout my elementary and middle school years, i was often bullied due to the way I looked and the way I dressed.I didn't always have the newest clothes so I was often excluded from friend groups and forced to do everything by myself. Take labels off and see people the way they are and who they are inside. In The Outsiders, I learned to surround myself with people who are beautiful on the inside rather than placing importance on their superficial features.after the outsiders, I learned that anyone can be a hero by just caring for others.
