April- Two Sides to Everyone

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the ultimate example of there being two sides to everyone. Although it obviously isn't always as literal as it is in that case, I definitely believe that there are two sides to everyone. It's impossible for people to be happy and wonderful all the time. Even if someone is generally a good and kind person, it is inevitable that they have a mean, angry side. As overused as the saying is, "don't judge a book by its cover", it is obviously true. It's impossible to know what a person is really like based on their outside. Nobody guessed that Dr Jekyll would have really been Mr Hyde, because based on his kind exterior, no one saw the evil inside of him. This could easily be reversed as well tough, even if someone appears mean and angry most of the time, no one knows what they are really like until they take the time to know them. This can be seen in the real world every day, anywhere. In schools, on teams, or at work it's just human nature to judge someone when you see them. People like to say "oh I don't judge" but really everyone does, it's impossible not to. What matters though is that you don't hold on to those judgements and you allow yourself go find out who they really are. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a pretty literal example of there being two sides to everyone and even though it isn't really like that in real life, it is an easy way to understand that people don't always show all of who they are, and people should never make assumptions based off of what's on the surface.
