Hi! :)
I have this paper too.
The world focuses too much on outward appearances; one shouldn't try to live up to others' expectations.
I believe the tone is somewhat dramatic based on the dialogue such as "shot his hand out in front of him", it makes the story seem a lot more interesting than what it really is; a normal encounter.
I believe you meant to say is instead on us and that would mean a spelling pattern is a repeated form
