English II - Persuasive Prompt
Read the following quotation from baseball legend Babe Ruth (1895–1948).
"It’s the way a team plays as a whole that
determines its success. You may have the
greatest bunch of individual stars in the world,
but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be
worth a dime." —Babe Ruth
Babe Ruth believed that a team could be great only if its individual players were
willing to work together. Think carefully about this belief.
Write an essay stating your opinion on whether it’s better to succeed individually
or as part of a team.
