literature‚ the relationship among men‚ women and the divine is often times manifested through the sinfulness of men‚ the diminishment of women’s value‚ and the rightfulness of the divine. One such case is Genesis 19 and Judges 19 in the Hebrew Bible‚ two similar narratives about rape. The writers of Judges 19 deliberately situated the characters in similar positions as those in Genesis 19‚ but included their own telling on women’s destiny to illustrate how women are treated different societies.

Don’t Judge a Book By It’s Cover Nothing is what it seems‚ including people. People judge other people by their appearances and actions without even knowing people. We see this theme a couple times in the book “To Kill A Mockingbird”‚ by Harper Lee. Harper Lee’s appearance message shows that people judge based on looks but the rumors and looks are never trusting. The theme Harper Lee followed in her book was‚ “ appearances do not always reflect reality.” One way she followed this theme was when

stereotypes that occur in my life more than others. When crossing paths with others I will often be unfairly stereotyped due to my blonde hair and my gender. I also witness stereotyping against my husband for his visible tattoos. The saying ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ crosses my mind often as I deal with the actions that occur due to stereotyping. Stereotyping can sometimes harm the individual and cause many negative outcomes. While all stereotypes are generalizations‚ not all generalizations

The material facts of Fisher v Bell‚ which involved a flick knife with a price tag in a shop window‚ were deemed to be vastly different in comparison to Partridge. In Partridge v Crittenden‚ Bramblefinch Cocks were advertised in a newspaper‚ even though it was in direct breach of The Protection of Birds Act . Both cases shared a similar outcome; there was only an
