After the announcer fumbles the bulletin and has to be replaced, hazel says that he should still be given a raise because “he tried. that’s the big thing. he tried to do the best he could with what god gave him.” is hazel right? should people be given credit at their workplaces or in school simply for trying, regardless of the result? give a real-life example from your life, studies, or observations to support your stance.

Well I see it as an A for effort. But in in all fairness if you lost the game you shouldn't really be a sore loser because of it. In football games the people keeping score don't give the points the other team that lost because "they tried". I was on the cheerleading team and the other girls won nationals but I thought it was unfair because we all really tried our hardest and the thought we should get extra points. But I know that's totally ridiculous now.
