Background

I am generally a good humanities student, and I got an A grade with excellent effort overall so far. My last writing grade was for an essay I wrote about selling organs, in which I received an A.

Resolution

This market resolves YES if I get an A on my essay. My school doesn't do A+ and it will resolve NO in case of an A- grade.

Some grammar errors you could fix. But honestly not a bad concept at all. Also depends on whether your teacher likes the story or not tbh

@Qoiuoiuoiu Where do you see grammar errors specifically?

(this is only my first draft btw so i'm still ironing stuff out)

@realDonaldTrump

A quick scan reveals the following:

"Holy shit, I just lost $50" said a trader [missing a comma at the end of $50]

Also some minor inconsistencies in tense: "The world just used to be so organic, so pure. Why did every belief have to be quantified? Maybe aleatoric uncertainty is the meaning of life itself, because this surely was not working."

Some moderately clunky wording as well... feel like you overuse the word "this" e.g. "Life didn't used to be like this" "This was why he didn't like Daniel".

@Qoiuoiuoiu thx so much, will work on fixing soon
