The topic means to me is that it isn't good to judge based on someone's appearance. This is important because in the book Chris was judged based on his looks. It is important to not judge people based on looks, as you can lose out on opportunities

I feel like judging people based off how they look is wrong as peoples personality can be different than their appearance. This can connect to anyone since, you can be judge anyone based off their appearance even if you never spoke to them before so it really shouldn't define that person. This applies to the book as Selena is judged based off her appearance and told to changed and it shapes her views on the world.

People shouldn't be judged by how they look. How someone behaves or their personality is more important then someones looks but can be overlooked if someone appears a certain way. Selana is judged by her looks.

I think that the topic of appearance is deceiving becuase some people may look appealing but really they arn't a good person. People related eto this since many people get based of the cover of their appearance and not the inside. For example in the story it states, " Selena, a catorce anos, se transformo con UN Nuevo look". This shows that Selena had to change her appearance to be apealing for her singing. This makes me feel that people would only first listen to her based on her appearance but not because her singing is good.

Chris was judged by his looks because Selena's father worried his rock star look could mess up Selena's image. For example " Tiene apariencia de rockero" which shows what Selena's father thought about Chris. Selena was judged by her looks and was forced to change her look so she could sing. for example "Necesitamos que se vea un Poco mas grande." This shows how she needed to change herself outside in order to sing.

Las aparencias engana a mi means that just porque una personas looks one way doesn't determine who they are as a person.

looks do not always equate to reality. In the book Selena was judged for her looks and told that the songs she was singing were only for men. Chris Perez was also judged for his looks. Yes.

This topic is meaningful to me as I have seen my friends and family be judged by their looks and then defy expectations. This idea applies to the novela we are reading as Selena was one character judged by her looks. In chapter 3, Selena's father says that there is a problem. Abraham elaborates that the problem is that "Selena solo tiene 14 anos y tiene aperiencia de... nina." Similarly, the new guitarist, Chris was judged by Selena's father in chapter 5, who states "No me gusta nada. Tiene apariencia de rockero."

Selena got judged for their looks. In chapter 3, it says how Selena was trying on a new look, but not a lot of people liked it or something. "Con ropa nueva, un corte de pelo diferente y maquillaje". To me, this topic means that your clothes or how you look don't define you as a person. In the aftermath, Selena's feelings got hurt cause they was hating. I connect to this some what because throughout middle school I've been told I look mean, though I'm not--or at least don't think I am.

This topic means a lot to me because I do not think people should be judged on appearance. A lot of people get judged everyday for appearance and looks. I can connect because I have seen many people judged on their looks for looking rude but they are actually not. Chris Perez fue jugzar para su aparencia. Por ejemplo, en capitulo Cinco, El Padre de Selena dijo, "No me gusta nada. Tiene apariencia de reckero".

This phrase means that people do not appear as you see them. I connect to this because when people look at me they think that I do not play sports. Some people were even judged in the book. For example, Selena was judged for her outfit as she was performing. Also, the guitarist was also judged for his looks and how he appeared.

to me this means that you can look or act some way but be something completely different. also its very important to not judge people on something that they can fix while focusing on the stuff that's on the inside not the outside. for example in Selena, " hombres hacen muchos mas dinero son mujeres." this shows that even though Selena isn't a man she can produce and even do better than some men, revealing that looks can really be deciving

Often times, we tend to judge others for their looks and make assumptions about them by generalizing. In the story, Chris Perez and Selena were judged for their looks. It's important not to view anyone a certain way before getting to know them because looks and personality are not always connected.

The two people who were judged in the story were Chris and Selena. In the story, it says "Su padre acepto escuchar a Chris, pero cuando lo vio, dijo: No! No me gusta nada. Tiene apariencia de rockero." To me, this topic could define how not everyone are how you may view them and could be very different.

I think that its important to not judge people based off their looks because you never know who that person could be. In the book, multiple people were judged. For example Selena, she was judged for her looks and was told she needed to change. They said, "tu miras una chica" This hurt Selena's feelings and impacted the way she looked.

what the topic means to me is that the looks of a person can be very different than how they really are. I connect because there were a lot of times I have been told that I look mean but I am really nice. this applies to the reading because their new guitarist was judged by his look by Selenas dad aswell as Selena because she was a woman singing Mexican music that is usually sang by men. the story says "tiene apariencia do rockero"

This topic means that people are different from what you see on the surface. Everybody connects to this because how you act in front of others doesn't represent how you act in private. Selena was judged for her looks and told to change it by changing her cloths. "Selena, a catorce anos, se transformo con un nuevo look".
