Dear Zeus,

Have you ever looked at the Acropolis in Athens? What did you think about the Athenians who planned and built the Acropolis? Well here's what I think about the architects and builders of the Acropolis. They had to have help and I bet they had help from Athena, and I would like to be the god of wisdom and the city.

I would be a good Athena because I play the trumpet. I've been playing since 5th grade, and I can play fast. I made up my own low notes. The trumpet relates to Athena because she made the trumpet.

Another way I would be a smart Athena is because I like historic cities. The way this is significant to Athena is because she's the goddess of cities. One way I like cities is that I like looking at buildings. Another way is I don't mind crowds and cities are loaded with crowds, especially historical cities.

The final way I would be a great Athena is because I like farming. This is relevant to Athena and not Demeter because Athena is the goddess of agriculture. One way I like to farm is I like organic food compared to stale supermarket food. Another way I farm is my family has a garden.

Once again the way I have great qualifications to fill in for Athena is because I play the trumpet, I like to farm, and I like looking at historical cities. Please Zeus let me fill in for Athena.

Sincerely,

Kevin

I really like when you said "One way I like to farm is I like organic food compared to stale supermarket food." I thought it was funny and a good idea.

Your first paragraph really drew me in and made me want to keep reading. I also loved your conclusion, I liked how you restated why you would be a good Athena.
