>>Cabeza De Vaca<<

This Picture is pretty much self-explanatory. The point that is being portrayed is not to judge a book by its cover. In the narrative about Cabeza de Vava’s journey, he encountered some Indians whom he lived with for some time. Now without even knowing anything about them, he looked at them as being “less human” than he. In the picture the judge is saying I will not judge a book by its cover seeing that on the cover of the book, it says “Guilty As Sin”. When the Indians were staying with him, he was learning their customs and ways and living day to day with them. Yet the minute he saw the Christians, he thanked the lord since they looked like him he felt they were the better of the two. However in the end, he ended up finding out the Christians had a motive that he didn’t even agree to and he put the Indians in danger. Later he realized he misjudged both groups. He should not have assumed so much from the Christians since they looked more like him because he was wrong in the end. He did however in the end understand the Indians more and gain a lot of respect for them.
