<p>My tutor had me write a prompt from Barron’s under the 25min condition. I wrote it on a piece of paper, now i typed it up. My real Sat essay score was 12 on another essay but I’m trying to stick to that score cuz my grammar really sucks. </p>
<p>We resent in others the very flaws we ourselves possess.</p>
<pre><code>As a child, I never quite understood why my uncle had tormented over the very conduct he followed supplying what he also argued against. He was a life-long smoker and never seemed to mitigate his habits until he had realized the impact on those living with him. He continued nonetheless but managed to keep it in secluded quarters. As people, it is our tendency to err and also to view ourselves as upstanding citizens. I agree with this statement since it reflects this societal image while denying the consequences of its true vices. The political and literary world most fully depicts this irony that befalls us.

<p>What is so ironic about our achievements is that in the political atmosphere, it almost seems as if the publics view of politicians as money-grabbers is actually not too stranded. Bushs Millennium Fund for example contradicts its stated beliefs; Bush had argued against crooked aid associations in the past however the actual situation in the areas of Africa receiving aid shows a different point. This federal program had promised to the citizens of Mozambique that it fully intended to strengthen the economy with direct donations to health, education, and reconstruction unlike the goals of other companies. The flaws of an avaricious group are debunked on the outside but it also possesses the infractions of its own virtues. Money in this case went straight to banks promising to raise social awareness in the poorer districts and also to teach the new generation about proper financial management. This claim in fact raised doubts unsurprisingly in the publics eye when all the money was discovered to be going directly to individual French banks hoping to earn a bit of interest.</p>
<p>In addition to scandals in politics, humans partial view can also be seen in Bret Easton Ellis top seller American Psycho. In this story, a successful stockbroker, Patrick Bateman represents the typical yuppie who made his profits in the 80s out of dramatic economy boosts. The story also mocks societys image of the characteristic upper urban class and more importantly the typical American citizen whose virtues the country so protected. Bateman argues for a better world for everyone since people are failing to improve social conditions in third world countries. Despite Batemans outward appearance as a humanitarian, his mask of sanity begins to slip throughout the book. This social satire shows that the power to ward off the uncontrollable has been discarded for the typical now has traded initial beliefs to unabiding indulgences.</p>
<p>To conclude, history has given us the power uphold every aspect of an ideal civilization but we in part must see the negatives of society to make up for the impossible dream of that perfect world. My uncle had shown me that truth and despite his uncontrollable continuity, I now understand that the hypocritical views cannot be avoided; it lives in every subject of our leanings and essentially every fraction of a human thought.</p>
