<p>For the essay on the SAT, when you use a literary example, how much in depth do you have to explain it? Like i know every essay grader would know Romeo and Juliet, but if I use a book like To Kill A Mockingbird, do I have to explain part of the plot, or should I assume the grader knows that book and go straight to proving my point? </p>
<p>Also, I wrote an essay. PLEASE just read the 1st paragraph if you have time. i really need some evaluation of my essay because I really do not know where I am. A simple # would be wonderful- you don't have to write any comments. </p>
<p>I need graders for my essay. Thank you </p>

<p>question: Is deceptive ever justified?
essay:
There are many situations when deception is justified. These situations include when a person is trying to protect his or her friend's emotions from being injured or when a person lies to benefit the community at large. Most of all, deception is justified when the intention is to benefit other people. Instances where deception is allowed is proven true in the Civil War, one of my personal experiences, and in the novel to kill A Mockingbird.</p>
<p>During the Civil War Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation to sustain the Union's moral. However, he did not announce to American that this was his initial intent, because he wanted this document to be viewed as a paternal and benevolent attempt to free theh slaves. When the slaves heard about this Proclamation, many of them joined the Union's side and as a result aided the Union's victory. By hiding the true meaning of the Emancipation Proclamation from the slaves, Lincoln led the North to victory by giving the North an honorable sense of morality and righteousness. This example prooves that when a person is trying to benefit a community, deception is justified and often is a very effective tactic to achieve a goal. Lincoln's goal wa sto preserve the Union and save the United States from splitting into two nations. Thus, he employed deception as a method to benefit the nation.</p>
<p>One of my personal experiences also reveal teh validity that deception can sometimes be justified. Once my AP history class was assigned an arduous project, and my friend did not have enough time to finish it. However, on the day that we presented our projects I feigned an enthusiastic smile and told her that her project was the best work I had ever seen. She genuinely believed me and ended up giving the most confident and smooth speech ever. Even my history teacher was awed by her confidence. By lying to my friend, I actually helped her receive a higher grade; this is another example that deception to benefit others is acceptable.</p>
<p>Harper Lee also demonstrates thath deception is sometimes justified. In the book to kill a Mockingbird, one fo the town members pretends to be an alcoholic by acting drug whenever he comes to town to shop for groceries. he always has a brown paper bag with a straw on which he occastionally sips in front of people. The rest of the townmembers all believe that he has an alcohol problem becuase they think there is a beer inside the paper bag. However, the paper bag actually contains a coke; the reason for this deception is that this man's wife and two children are black, and interracial love was considered heinous and unthinkable in Alabama in the 1960's. Thsu, this man chose to deceive the town into thinking thath he married a black woman because he is a mentally foolish drunkard in order to protect his wife and children. In the case with the Civil War, my friend's project, and this man in To Kill a Mockingbird, deception prooved to benefit othe people.</p>
