Hi, I would really appreciate it if anyone could read over my essay and give it a score. I know I didn’t get to finish it in time, but what would be the highest score for an incomplete essay? Any tips or advice are also much appreciated!
Prompt- Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better?
Changes that might make our lives “easier” do not necessarily make them better. This can be seen in both the novel Animal Farm by George Orwell and in the widespread popularity of fast food today.
Written in 1958, Animal Farm tells the story of how a group of oppressed and over-worked farm animals come to overthrow their farmer. The “revolution's leader is a pig named Napoleon who promises his comrades that their lives will be forever changed if they succeed in gaining control of the farm. the animals do indeed and after Napoleon takes charge, he implements some changes. the farm animals leader tells them that they will never have to suffer again and that their lives will be made much easier under his control while this is true for some period of time, the animals’ lives do not improve as they have simply switched from being controlled by one tyrant to another. They are not forced to work as much, yet Napoleon takes away their newborns, the best portions of their food, and eventually massacres all the animals that dare defy him.
Although the popularity of fast food in modern day society has not resulted in such drastic events, its effects are relevant as well. The widespread appeal of fast food lies in its taste and perhaps more importantly, its convenience. rather than having to spend an hour at a restaurant or having to actually cook, one can simply go to the nearest fast food place and order a burger made in less than five minutes. Despite making the lives of some easier, fast food has not made our lives any better. (ran out of time to list reasons why)
