Judging The Unknown

In this wild and crazy epic of Gilgamesh, we see that Gilgamesh and Enkidu kill Humbaba. They kill the beast just because of how he looked. I compare that to how society is today. Sadly, we still judge a book by its cover. Yes, it is wrong,but people react to the first thing they see. If something is odd or unfamiliar people assume and start to judge. I also made a connection to Boo Radley from, "To Kill A Mockingbird". People in the town were so afraid of him because of how he looked and how people assumed he was. Later in the book we find out that he is not a monster after all. He was just afraid of society who made fun of him. Who woudldn't be?! People just judge without knowing. Scientific research states that juding a person by apperance goes way back. In prehistoric times people did not have time to stop and communicate with one another to see if he or she was threat, so they just judged by looks. That was totally wrong!! We can't change society can we?
