Why I Think My Letters Could be Chosen

Firstly, I chose to write my letters on topics that I know people are interested or invested in. I came across the Boston Sunday Globe article in my apartment and I knew that the topic of job economy would be a good article to write a letter to the editor. I also chose this article because as a college student who will be graduating soon and looking for a job, I am able to write this letter to the editor with a passion and first hand experience dealing with the job market. I did not want to take this letter to the editor too seriously, in terms of language. I wanted to take a different approach, using upbeat language and sayings in order to possibly catch the eye of a Boston Sunday Globe publisher. I also think that my letter could be chosen because I am a college student, who goes to school in Massachusetts. This is a large demographic that the Boston Globe tries to reach with their articles.
In my other letter to the editor about the protesting taking place in Egypt, I wanted to take a more serious tone with the letter. Partly because this was being sent to the New York Times and another that this is a more exposed and current topic. I think that I could be chosen to be published because what I said in my letter is agreed upon by many other students and adults that I have talked to about the topic. Another reason why I wanted to write a letter in response to this article, is because I wanted to voice my opinion in that we should take our time in dealing with the friction taking place in Egypt.
