I am choosing a letter because I plan to address the basketball players community . I will use a letter because it’s easier for me to write directed at a targeted audience then a speech.it helps me get my point across more simpler and understandable seeing as it’s being written and less time consuming for me

My problem with being a basketball player is in order for you to be recognized you need to have connections or play in well known tournaments or for hyped schools that get coverage. Im writing this letter to shed light on the fact that there are players that deserve to be in the spotlight and are overall better at basketball but because they go to unknown schools or have no connections they won’t be noticed. this letter will show how hard it is to get recognized even locally not to mention nationally without going somewhere that already has that kind of high coverage and hype. And things like divisions are also big roadblocks because most people will then say the player isn’t playing against good competition so what he’s doing is irrelevant when in reality the player would probably do the same against higher levels of competition but their predicaments are being used against them when they have little control over it even though the competition i lower divisions might not be that different because i myself was in a division B high school and we played a Division A highschool thinking we was going to get embarrassed because they was a top team in the A division but we ended up beating them by 21 even though they were a division above and we lost by 37 to teams in our division b which shows a lot as to how divisions are made horribly. Also in the letter I want to address division problems in high school because a team can go from good to bad in 1 year or from bad to good in 1 due to incoming freshmens and leaving seniors.

The discourse community that I chose was students that went to college specifically during Covid . This is a discourse community because many people in the world don’t even make it to college and on top of that out of all the college grads and the students to be, only the small subsection of us can all relate to thee problems. the views we have are that the process is extremely hard even through its already difficult on its own and from the virus coming out of the blue i was unexpected so even the schools where not ready and that made it harder on us going to college because now we had to supply all these extra documents and do a lot more things that makes it harder for us due to the situation. one problem i faced in particular is my id because i lost my hs id which is a common thing and i dont have a state id yet so i had to find all these documents to get a college id and i dont understand how if im trying to get a photo id i need a photo id to get a photo id that makes no sense and defeats the purpose all that from the mask mandates and taking test and shots makes this very exclusive to a limited set of people
