Draft:
Can I please go to the football game Saturday? Please? I know I got a
bad grade on my math quiz, but that has nothing to do with football.
It's so unfair! All of my friends are going to the game, and it's supposed
to be a nice, sunny day. Can't you just let up this once? Please? I really
want to watch the game,
How well does this draft address the audience and purpose of the following.

Writing prompt:

game this weekend, not knowing that you had already signed up to
work the snack stand at the game to earn volunteer hours for a class.
Write a letter to your parents to persuade them to let you attend the
game
A.the example is strong because the parents are likely to consider the weather and who is going to the game and in their decision making.
B. the example is strong because it addresses the parents’ objections and provides a good reason for attending the game.
C. the example is weak because it relies on repeative pleading rather than outlining reasons and evidence for going to the game.
D. the example is weak because it reminds the parents about the bad math grade and doesnt state clearly what the writer wants.
