Summary of A Difference of One

Joe lost the basketball game for just one point. He felt exhausted but there is a very important science test tomorrow. If he doesn’t pass the test he’ll be not able to play the next game. He was so tired that he took a nap first instead to studying. When he woke up it was the next morning. Unfortunately he didn’t pass the test for only one point, too. He felt unfair how come the teacher failed him for just one point? So he went to argue with the teacher. But it was no use. Then the basketball team coach talk to the teacher. It didn’t work, too. He can’t accept this but at last the teacher makes him realize the point is the point. There’s nothing that is unfair.

My favorite part is the teacher said,"You mean you lost by only one point. Couldn't you talk to the referee?" If you want to win or pass the test you should work harder. Life is full of challenges. Some people work very hard to achieve their goal. Some people just can’t. Maybe that’s their destiny. But don’t blame the resort. If you work harder the thing may change in different ways. It always depends on you.
