"Othello," "A&P," "Everyday Use," and "Richard Cory" are just a few works of literature that shine light to this idea. Appearance vs reality can ruin lives, cause people to loose their jobs, misvalue family members, and even cause a complete misjudgment of someone 's life.

There’s plenty of things you can say to defend yourself to refute this blunt, insulting statement. However, Michael Moore doesn’t really care. He doesn’t mean to make the most compelling argument; he just wants to incite you, make you think, and entertain. This is clear in almost all of his work including his book, Idiot Nation. In this, he discusses the…
