<p>Assignment: Is the way something seems to be not always the same as it actually is?</p>
<p>Appearances and reality aren't one and the same; often times, behind an exterior lies a completely contrasting interior. Some examples of this can be seen in Hitler's vision of Lebensraum, expanding his German Empire, as well as in George Orwell's Animal Farm.</p>
<p>As demonstarted in Hitler's building of Third Reich, appearances doesn't convey true motives. During the Munich Conference, Hitler claimed to have wanted the Sudetenland because it contained over 2.2 million German speaking people, and was Germany's property before the first world war. He went on to claim that if he received it, he wouldn't ask for any more. The French and British continued to appease him and gave him the Sudetenland, because they believed him; Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain went as far as to say that he had achieved "peace in our[their] time." But those words of Hitler only served as appearance. His true motives were seen when he only shortly later invaded the rest of Czechloslovakia. As can be seen in the case of Hitler's quest for Lebensraum, appearance (in this case, his words of saying all he wanted was the Sudetenland) was not the same as reality (which was to continue to expand Germany eastward far beyond the Sudetenland).</p>
<p>The difference between appearance and reality is seen in George Orwell's Animal Farm, too. After having rebelled and consequently kicked out Mr. Jones, the owner of the Maynor Farm, the animals controlled the farm using a system in which all animals would put in their fair share of work. However, that idea only served as appearance. The unfortunate reality was that the leader, Napoleon, had interests that saw him as a dictator over the rest of the less intelligent animals. Slowly--step by step--Napoleon turned the system of the farm into a form of dictatorship wherein pigs and dogs (who acted as guards for the pigs) were treated much more favorably than the other animals. Even toward the end of the novel, where the work load was so unevenly balanced and all the rules that governed this system had been broken, the rest of the animals continued to believe that they were still putting in as much work as the pigs were, as that is how it appeared to them. But clearly, the appearance wasn't the same as what was truly going on.</p>
<p>Overall, after looking closely at Hitler's vision of expanding Germany eastward and Animal Farm by George Orwell, it's clear that the way something seems isn't always the same as it actually is. Ofte times, they are almost contrasting. It's important to be able to recognize one's true motives as otherwise, it can have truly devestating consequences. </p>

<p>I produced it as was written, which is why you might find one or two syntax mistakes (I can see a misused comma and a misspelling of 'often' by myself). I know I've asked for this before (and also that it's asked sooo often on these boards), but I'm taking the exam in December and have spent very little time on writing because my critical reading skills pale in comparison. I've improved my critical reading by a lot, but this is to see if I still am good enough for writing. </p>
<p>A 1-6/2-12 grade would be great to see where I stand, but I'm more interested in maybe some comments as to what I'm laking. Thanks in advance, guys.</p>
But the thing is that, there were some grammar mistakes…If you make your writing a little good then this essay will surely score a 10!
