Understanding the difference can be quite confusing, however it was very important that he get it right on his essay!
Mr. Samuels was pretty particular about words and meanings, not to mention spelling.
Barry really would rather be out on the baseball diamond, but this essay was already late and would count on his standings to stay on the highschool baseball team.
Late or not, disliking writing essays or not, missing dessert after dinner or not, baseball had been his life since he was old enough to swing a bat.
Eventually, he learned that humiliation brings a loss of dignity, like when he got bullied; and humility equalizes everybody’s strengths - just like a well oiled baseball team.
“The beginning of wisdom is the definition of terms.”
~ Socrates
