Response to Blog- Jules

I am responding to Shelby G's blog in which she asks the question what if Jules had gotten an A? Would he still be making his argument? Despite what was discussed in class I still want to give my opinion on this. I believe that if Jules had gotten an A he wouldn't have written the letter. His complaint was that he got a C which is a grade that he thought was mediocre compared to his work. He is obviously arrogant enough to think that he is an A student (that is one point) and another point is that no one thinks of themselves of anything but an A student. Everyone wants to be the best, and no one wants to be told otherwise.  He didn't agree with his grade and if he got an A everything would most likely be alright.  By writing the letter Jules was making an appeal of his grade. Also I feel like he was hurt, as any student would be, and wanted to set the teacher straight by saying "I don't give a damn what you think, I know what kind of a student I am and you are stupid to have given me a C."  He did what any student would think of doing, but never really do because they don't have the courage to do it. It isn't right that people give people things that they think they deserve and half of the time it isn't really based on an objective standard, but it is based on a subjective standard. I understand where Jules is coming from because here he is working his butt off and a teacher gives him a grade that basically says "eh you are doing OK, but your work is still mediocre."  The objective standard that I am talking about is awarding a person something because of the work they have done and how well they have mastered something. Not giving someone something because you feel they are well liked or because they did a personal favor for you.  I seriously can't really blame Jules for saying the things he said, I don't believe it is the philosophy that he is really concentrated on, but he wanted to prove that he was a good writer while at the same time explaining how hurt he was. My question if you were in Allison's shoes how would you have responded to the letter from Jules?
