Why I deserve an A
If asked, what grade do you deserve in this class thus far, I would respond with an A
Despite taking !" credits this semester, along with #eing a part of an enterprise, I have managed
to complete all of the assignments and readings for this class, along with contri#uting to
classroom discussions Also, during peer review, I have managed to help other students with
their own papers, marking up countless errors, as well as helping them grow as writers
$he point of a class is to learn the material covered as well as helping others to learn %o
far into the class, I have done all of the readings, along with participating in the class discussions
a#out the readings $hrough this, I have learned the material presented, along with helping to
further educate other students on the material as well Also, through the creative writings, I have
engaged into the topic more &etting the freedom to #e a#le to write a#out a topic of my choice
has greatly pi'ued my interest in the (nglish language in general $his newly found interest will
help in other classes that re'uire writing, as well as in the future for any )o# that may re'uire it
*verall, I feel that my contri#utions to the class despite my large workload this semester
has #een enough to deserve my grade in this class to #e an A so far +y input and opinions on
the readings, as well as my usefulness in aiding other students in their own writing, has
ultimately led to what I feel is A,type work -opefully, I can keep this up through the course of
the semester, resulting in a final grade of an A
$hroughout this writing, I used many emotional appeals to try to convince the reader of
the grade that I deserve in the class thus far .irst, I #eing #y appealing to the audience/s
emotions, or the use of pathos, when I descri#e my hard workload this semester $he reader then
feels sorry for me, and can pro#a#ly relate what I am going through Also, in doing so, I add
credi#ility to myself In mentioning that I am part of an enterprise, I have shown that I work
hard, showing that I have a good work ethic
Ne0t, I appeal through logos, or logic I do this #y presenting actual in,class e0amples on
why I deserve an A, descri#ing how I help others to learn, and I include how I do all of the
readings $his is a logical appeal #ecause working hard and participating in class, logically
means getting a good grade
$he whole time, I am keeping in mind that the target audience is the teacher, meaning I
do not need to e0plain things that occur in class, that someone else might not understand
1astly, since the purpose of the paper is to e0plain why I deserve an A, I end it with an
overall summary, descri#ing why I deserve it, giving a #rief overview of what the two previous
paragraphs were a#out
